What is the male ant called?

Answer 1

The female ant is simply called "Queen".

When the queen starts to lay eggs, her fertilized eggs will become female ants. Almost all ants are females.

The eggs then hatch after several days. The queen feeds the larvae that emerge by spitting up food she makes from her leftover wing muscles, from her own energy reserves, and sometimes from eating some of the other eggs or larvae.

The larvae grow then form pupae. Gradually, they turn into adult ants. When the pupae open in a week or two, adult ants emerge and start to gather food. Worker ants are sterile females, which means they do not lay eggs. Worker ants keep eggs, larvae, and pupae at the right temperature by moving them from chamber to chamber within the nest, the worker ants take care of the new eggs, larvae, and pupae. They take care of the queen too, all she does is lay eggs. She may live for 10 to 20 years, laying eggs fertilized during her one mating flight.

Most of the fertilized eggs become new workers. But occasionally the worker ants feed more food to some of the young, and that makes them turn into queen ants. Sometimes the queen lays unfertilized eggs, which become male ants. The male ants don't help maintain the colony. Instead, they fly from the nest in search of a queen. When they find a queen, they mate. Then the cycle begins again.
