A trail of ants is primarily a learned behavior that stems from their ability to communicate and share information through pheromones. When foraging, ants leave a chemical trail that other ants can follow to resources. This behavior is learned collectively within the colony as ants reinforce the pheromone path, making it more prominent for others to follow. Thus, while individual ants may not instinctively know to follow a trail, they learn and adapt based on the cues left by their peers.

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.
When do ants move in a single file line?
This is because ants leave a chemical trail for other ants to follow.They are following a trail laid out by another ant that will take them to food, water or their home. Ants leave this trail of pheromones or scent as they travel. After finding food they return to the nest (following their own scent trail) and communicate this fact to other ants who then follow the scent trail to the food. As more ants travel the trail the scent gets stronger (easier to follow) and the random bumps are smoothed out making the trail straighter.
It marks a trail by leaving its scent?
Ants are known to mark their trail so that other ants may follow: you might call it pheromonal warfare. Many animals mark "their territory" by leaving a scent, but ants mark their trail.
How ants leave trail?
Ants leave a trail by secreting a chemical substance called pheromones from glands in their bodies. When an ant finds food, it lays down a pheromone trail back to the nest, which other ants can detect and follow. This chemical communication helps coordinate foraging and directs other ants to the food source. As more ants follow the trail, they reinforce it with additional pheromones, making it stronger and more noticeable.
