Ants

Ants are heterotrophs. This means the ants use organic carbon to help them grow. Autotrophs use sunlight for their energy source.

I think since they have complex nature on their side I think they can play minor sports, like finding certain objects and the ant that finds the most objects gets less work or extra credit but extra credit is more likely.

The timing of nuptial flights for ants varies by species and is usually triggered by environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and time of year. In general, nuptial flights typically occur during warmer months, often in spring or early summer. These flights are when winged reproductive ants (alates) swarm out of their nests to mate and start new colonies.

Put malto meal in the path of the ants or on the ant pile. Once the worker ants get the malto meal they will take it to there queen. The queen eats the malto meal, and it makes her swell up and she dies.

An ant doesn't sink in water because it is able to repel water due to the hydrophobic nature of its exoskeleton. The fine hairs on an ant's body trap air bubbles, giving it buoyancy and allowing it to float on the water's surface.

Ants use their mandibles, legs, and bodies to move dirt. They can use their mandibles to grab and carry small particles of soil, their legs to push and compact the dirt, and their bodies to create tunnels and chambers within the soil.

An ant lion is called so because it hides in the sand or dirt. Than it digs down and waits for the ants to come through. When they do the ant lion pops out of the ground and feast on the ants.

Norman E. Thagard has not died. He was born in Marianna, Florida on July 3, 1943 and was selected to be an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1978. His first flight was as a member of the STS-7 crew on June 18, 1983.

In most ant species there are actually two members of the colony that are able to fly. These ants appear once a year and do so at the same time. The larger ant is a "Princess" which is destined to become a "Queen" after successfully completing her nuptial flight. The smaller ant is a "Drone" and is the only male ant produced in the colony. The Princesses and the Drones take flight at the same time and normally in close proximity to the time when other colonies of the same species are also experiencing their nuptial flights. The Drone and the Princess mate during flight and the Drone dies soon after the nuptial flight is ended. The Princess returns to the ground and seeks out a sheltered place where she can start a new colony. Since she will never fly again, the Princess removes her wings. She begins to lay eggs, and in doing so she becomes a Queen. The new Queen feeds and cares for her first offspring herself. She does so until they mature, at which time they take over the care of their Queen. Once her first offspring begin caring for the Queen, she concentrates solely on laying eggs for the rest of her life. Once the colony has grown to be self sufficient, the Queen will start the process all over again by producing Princesses and Drones for their own nuptial flights. Therefore, in the strictest sense, a queen ant can not fly. It is only the Princesses and Drones that are able to fly and they do so only once in their lives.

The are many titles that can be used for an ant project. A catchy title for an ant project can be 'Follow the Leader'.

Ants are successful due to their highly organized social structure, efficient division of labor, excellent communication through pheromones, and ability to adapt to changing environments. Additionally, their teamwork, tireless work ethic, and strategic foraging behaviors contribute to their overall success as a species.

ants definitely have eyes, but cant understand about red eyes.

The main ant in A Bug's Life is called Flick.

Honey ant eggs are small, typically around 1-2 millimeters in size. They are usually white or pale yellow in color and can be found within the honey ants' underground nests.

There is no species of ant that can break a picnic table with one blow. Ants are small and not capable of causing significant damage to structures like picnic tables.

The RIFA (Red Imported Fire Ant) was accidentally introduced into the United States aboard a South American cargo ship that docked at the port of Mobile, Alabama, in the 1930s, but now infests the majority of the Southern and Southwestern United States.

They have a common diet of crab fat. Sometimes, they tend to eat their own kind. This often results in a great boost in the population of the Yellow Crazy Ant because the bigger female ants are, the more antlings they produce.

Honey ants are mainly found in arid regions of Australia, Africa, and the Americas. They build their nests underground, often in sandy or rocky soil. They are known for storing food in their bodies to share with the colony during times of scarcity.

Parasol ants use leaves to cultivate a fungus that serves as their primary food source. The ants cut leaves, bring them back to their colony, chew them into a paste, and then feed this paste to their fungal garden. The fungus breaks down the leaf material and converts it into a nutrient-rich substrate that the ants can digest.

An ant farm can provide a moderate level of entertainment and fascination as you observe the ants building tunnels and interacting in their environment. However, the level of fun can vary depending on personal interest and engagement with the ant farm.

An ant lion digs a conical pit by moving backwards in a circle, using its body to push sand/dirt outwards. The pit is built in loose, sandy soil to catch prey like ants. It then waits at the bottom for an unsuspecting ant to fall in.

I love that this is in the ant category. 0.4167 mm/s, or 64.96 ft/hr

An experiment once showed an ant lived without air for eight days
