What do ants leave a trail with?
Ants leave a trail with pheromones, which are chemical signals that they excrete as they move. These pheromones help other ants follow the trail to food sources or to communicate with each other.
What is the symbiotic relationship between a flowering plant and an insect?
The ants squeeze the aphids to extract a sweet tasting liquid and in return, that ants protect the aphids. I do not believe the foregoing statement. I wonder whether the person who wrote it has ever seen anything of the kind happening. I have seen ants eating aphids, cutting them up and carrying them away, and I have seen ants stroking aphids with their antennae, which seemed to stimulate the aphids into giving up honeydew. However, I may have misinterpreted that stroking; possibly touching the aphid with the antenna was just to see whether there was any honeydew to pick up, and the aphid might have been about to produce honeydew anyway. In any case, there certainly is a symbiotic (more precisely, mutualistic) relationship between many kinds of ants and many kinds of aphids. Generally speaking it takes the form of ants protecting aphids and removing their (unwanted) honeydew for their own purposes.
What are the different types of ants that can be identified?
There are many different types of ants that can be identified, including carpenter ants, fire ants, and Argentine ants. Each type has unique characteristics and behaviors that can help distinguish them from one another.
Do ants help Earth?
Yes, and in many ways. Ants are irreplaceable in contributing to soil turning, helping with water infiltration, organic matter concentration, and aeration of the soil. Ants are also a big help in pollinating many plants, and help plants (such as peonies) to bloom by eating off the waxy casing from their buds.One odd thing about ants is that they herd aphids as people do cattle. Ants keep aphids in or near their nest. As the aphids feed they produce amino acids or (honeydew) that is secreted from their anus. The ants then milk it from them for food. In return the ants protect them from most predators. Even fighting to defend them.And yet they're such a pain in the butt!
What are some examples of symbiotic relationships in a coniferous forest?
Some examples of symbiotic relationships in a coniferous forest include mycorrhizal fungi and conifer roots, where the fungi help the tree absorb nutrients, and lichens formed from a mutualistic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Another example is the relationship between certain species of ants and aphids that feed on conifer sap, where the ants protect the aphids in exchange for honeydew.
Do carpenter ants have antenna and how do they use them in their daily activities?
Yes, carpenter ants have antenna. They use their antenna to sense their surroundings, communicate with other ants, and locate food sources. The antenna help them navigate their environment and detect pheromones released by other ants.
What happens if you eat an aphid?
ladybugs, among other insects, eat aphids.
What is a example of mutalism in a grassland?
Mutualism occurs in relationships between different species in which both species benefit. An example occurring on grasslands could be bacteria living in the stomach of large ruminants. The bacteria is able to live in the stomach and the host animals are able to use the bacteria to help break down the cellulose in the plants they eat.
Does planting chives in the garden help get rid of aphids?
Yes, planting chives in the garden helps get rid of aphids.Specifically, aphids disdain strongly aromatic plants. Alliums such as chives, garlic, leeks, onions and shallots fit the bill. They will be repugnant to such unlikeable pests as aphids, carrot flies, fruit tree borers, and weevils. They will limit the growth of the gardener's beans and peas - which therefore should not be planted companionably nearby - but protect roses from ants.
Where is an ants sense of smell located?

How are ants helpful?
Ants can help each other by working together, helping the struggling ones, and many other ways too. They help each other in many ways, but usually they die in about 6/7 months, when after the queen would already be borning new babies.
