nuptial flight
ants do not need kings they have several ants to mate with the "queen" called "drones"
There is a "queen ant", which is a breeding female. There is no "king" ant, male ants are called "drones". The non-breeding (sterile or sub-fertile) female ants are called "workers". Depending on the species, there can be anywhere from one to ten queen ants in a colony. They are raised from larvae specifically for the purpose of breeding.
Male ants only have one job and that is to mate with the queen ant. After they mate, the male ant dies. All of the worker ants are female.
Because they want to
Ants are created through a process called metamorphosis. They begin as eggs laid by the queen ant, hatch into larvae, undergo pupation, and eventually emerge as adult worker ants. Ant colonies are highly organized social structures where each member has specific roles and responsibilities.
They are sterile (non reproductive) females. The small group of males in a colony, called drones, are only to mate with the queen orqueens; after two weeks they die.
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.
A flying Ants scientific name is Princess or duel. The duel is a male and has wings. A princess can become a queen, but the different is the princess has wings and the queen does not. The queen ant only flies once. Then removes her wings or a worker will do it for her. I hope I could help.
Ants reproduce sexually, with a queen ant mating with a male ant to produce eggs. The queen lays eggs which hatch into larvae, eventually developing into worker ants or new queens and male ants. The queen can fertilize eggs to produce female worker ants or unfertilized eggs to produce male ants or new queens.
There is no king, but social insects (ants, termites, and bees) have a queen. She is fertilized by a male, called a drone, and he is the only male in the society.
They are just called male ants. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called "drones" and one or more fertile females called "queens."
It cannot be done without a queen ant and male ants. The queen lays all the eggs. The workers and soldiers are sterile.
