They live in dirt and form thier ant hills to live in.
Yes, many species of ants live underground in complex tunnel systems. These tunnels provide protection from predators, regulate temperature and humidity, and serve as shelter for the ant colony.
NO, there is no king in an ant colony :)
How many thousands or millions of ants are in a colony depends on at least 3 separate things: how old the colony is, how many other ant colonies there are in that part of the jungle or forest, sharing the available food supply, and how many ant-eaters - or other predators of ants - live in that location!
The house of ants is called a nest. Ants build nests to live in and store food, raise their young, and protect their queen. The nest can be located underground, in a mound of dirt, or in tree bark, depending on the ant species.
A queen ant is an adult, mated female ant in an ant colony; generally the mother of all the other ants in that colony.
If you do a Google search for "build an ant farm", you will find many ways of building one.
A queen ant is about 4-10 millimeters , the double of a regular worker ant!
The colony cannot function without the queen. This is the basis of ant bait pest control.
Ants live in structures called anthills or ant colonies. These colonies are typically made up of intricate tunnels and chambers where the ants nest, store food, and care for their young.
The colony, known colloquially as the "Ant Hill"
