To protect themselves from the enemies. Just like how lions have claws used for scratching or holding down the animal. If you stepped somewhere where there's lots of plants they'll sting you cause you're a danger to them.
Some ants can have stingers. However, most ants simply bite, and some are also completely harmless. Fire ants and harvester ants are two of the most common ants that have stingers, and are primarily seen outdoors.
No, only some Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, and hornets) have stingers.
No moth has a stinger. Stingers are typically found in bees, wasps, and some ants.
Drone ants are males whose main role is to mate with the queen to ensure the colony's genetic diversity. They do not have stingers or the ability to do work like worker ants. Once they have fulfilled their mating purpose, drone ants die shortly after.
I Think That All Of Them Do Have Stingers
there is no bee, wasp, hornet, and honey bee that has a triangle stinger. (they all have cone stingers).
One obvious difference is that bees have wings, and ants do not. Another is that bees live in hives, but ants live in anthills, or piles of dirt . . . with tunnels. Another would be that ants have to hunt for their food, but bees make the stuff that they eat with their surroundings. ANOTHER difference is that ants bite or spray acid to defend themselves, but bees use their stingers. Yet still, they both have the ability to sting, but not all species of ants are able to do this. Another difference that I know are that ants have more species than bees, but they only beat them by 2,000 species. There are A LOT more, so keep searching for answers!
Some ants jump not all.
Not all flying ants are carpenter ants. However, all carpenter ants can fly. There are various types of flying ants. Carpenter ants can be distinguished by their larger size and reddish tone to their body.
A fire ant sting is acidic. Fire ants inject venom through their stingers, which contains formic acid that causes a painful sting.
they were ''smart ants''
All jellyfish have stingers. I once wondered the same question. For example, a moon jellyfish doesn't look like it has stingers. It does, it's just that they're small and kind of tucked into the body.
