What is the skeletal system of an ant like?
Ant's dont have skeletons. Like many other insects, the body of an army ant has a head, thorax and abdomen. The head has a mouth, eyes and antennae. The mouth has two jaws called mandibles that are like scissors. Still, army ants can only swallow liquids because the solids form a ball that the ant spits out. Unlike other ants, army ants do not have compound eyes, but instead have single eyes (but they are still blind). Army ants use their antennae to sense smell and touch. This is how they know which colony and nest they belong to. They use their antennae to communicate as well. The thorax is connected to the head by joints called nodes. The thorax is between the head and abdomen. It is connected to the abdomen by a narrow waist called the petiole. The abdomen is in the shape of an oval. That is where the stomach, large intestine, sting, etc. are located. Ants like most insects have an exo-skeleton. In other words; it's on the outside. The outer body casings are the skeleton. However, they are not made calcium deposits, like us or other mammals. They are made of a substance similar to our hair nails which are made of keratin.

Who are the fertile males in ant colonies?
Male ants are not workers or soldiers. The workers and soldiers are all females, so generally when you see an ant you can call it "she". In fact they are good for nothing but mating with the queen so that she can lay eggs that will produce new queens and workers (and soldiers if it is a kind of ant that has a soldier caste; not all ants do have special soldier and worker castes). She does not need to mate to produce new male eggs, but before she can do so, she must produce enough workers to run the colony, so it come to the same thing.
However, in the proper season colonies of most ant species will produce eggs that they raise into winged ants. Most kinds of colonies produce a mix of winged male ants and winged female ants, but some kinds will produce only one sex in each colony at a time. That way, when all the ant colonies in a district send out their winged males and females, they do not mate with their sisters or brothers.
Of the female ants in most species only the young queens that are to lay eggs have wings, compared to the thousands of workers and soldiers. All males have wings.
Generally the winged males do not live long after mating, and the females mate only once. Afterwards females of most species drop their wings and spend the rest of their lives in the colony underground or wherever their nest might be.
A female ant is typically referred to as a "queen" if she is the reproductive female within the colony. In addition to the queen, there are also female worker ants that are non-reproductive and perform various tasks for the colony, such as foraging, caring for the queen's offspring, and maintaining the nest. The queen is responsible for laying eggs, while workers support the colony's functioning.
Ants, and other insects have exoskeletons. Unlike a skeleton found in an animal like a human, where it is made of bones and is found inside the body, the exoskeleton of an ant is made of a protein and is found on the outside of an ant (exo means outside or exterior). So when you are looking at an ant, you are seeing its exoskeleton.
So yes, they have skeletons. Their skeletons are just on the outside.

Certain species of ant have been used as food and drink, and as medicine, for thousands of years in traditional cultures around the world, including Africa, Asia, the Americas and parts of Europe. Usage is strikingly consistent worldwide for certain ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis and wound care (anti-inflammatory effects), sexual hypofunction, and as a general health tonic (indicating immune boosting capabilities).
This usage is best documented in China, whose long history of herbal medicine has been painstakingly and thoroughly documented over the centuries, and where traditional medicine is currently studied and practiced alongside Western models.
Several scientific studies of ethanol extract of Chinese Medicinal Ants, genus Polyrhachis, detailed within, present data supporting the beneficial pharmacologic effects on animals and humans, including strong evidence of anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, remarkable anti-oxidant activity, and direct curative effect on human patients with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic hepatitis, both inflammatory diseases.
Ants come in from outside through tiny open spaces. Many of them will build a nest in the walls of a house and reproduce continuously.
