Why do ants touch when passing by each other?
Ants touch each other with their antennae to communicate information such as their identity, social status, and to exchange chemical signals called pheromones. This helps them coordinate their activities within the colony, such as foraging, defending the nest, or marking their foraging trail.

What is the genus and species name of an ant?
The most specific grouping I can provide with the given inforation is their faily nae, formicidae.
If you mean does one ant in a nest answer to the name of "Joe" of "Bill", or anything like that, no. There is no reason to think that ants tell each other apart, except that they can tell say queens from other ants, and big castes of ants from little and so on. They also can tell other kinds of ants from their own kind (and often they will fight them).
However, humans have names for the different kinds of ants. For instance, one of the species (kinds) of leafcutter ants we call Atta texana, the Texas leafcutter ant, and another we call Atta sexdens, or, if you like, the six-toothed leafcutter ant. Again, one of the species of fire ant is Solenopsis invicta, the imported red fire ant, and another is Solenopsis molesta, the thief ant. We call names like Solenopsis sylvestrii " (the forest fire ant) scientific names" or "biological names" and names like "red fire ant" or "forest fire ant" the "common names". A name like "Solenopsis" which is like a surname for several species we call the genus or generic name. A name like "sylvestrii" tells which species it is in the genus, and we call that the "specific epithet". The two together make up the specific or species name.
Just as we may get lots of species in agenus, so we may get lots of genera in a family. So, for example, all the Solenopsis and all the Atta and all the Formica are genera in the family of Formicidae, the family of all the kinds of ants. And the Formicidae are just one family in the order Hymenoptera, the ants plus bees plus wasps. And the Hymenoptera are just one order in the class Insecta, all the insects.

Fire ant, sometimes called the red fire ant, is the name used in the United States mainly for the ant with the scientific name Solenopsis invicta. It is not a United states ant, but comes from South America. However, people accidentally brought it into the southern states and it has spread and multiplied there. It is a very aggressive ant with a very poisonous sting that will kill all sorts of small animals which it then will eat. That can be bad when the small animals are valuable, but it can be useful if the small animals are crop pests. Even so, if the ants control pests in a crop they also can make it very difficult to harvest the crop. It also can be a very serious problem if a lot of fire ant nests enter pastures, because they will attack any livestock feeding in the pasture.
If they bite and sting people and larger animals, the sting is very painful. People say it burns like fire and that is why it is called the fire ant. Where someone has been stung by a fire ant it often will leave a nasty red swelling that may form a pus-filled blister. What is worse, some people become dangerously allergic to the stings and may die if stung. Even people without allergies may die if stung too badly, say by thousands of ants. This has been known to happen during floods, when, if a fire ant colony is flooded out, all the ants will float away with all the ants clinging to each other in a mass like a basketball. If the colony floats against a tree or a house where someone has climbed to shelter from the flood, it will stop and climb onto the same place and then is likely to attack whoever is sheltering in the same place, killing them because they cannot get away from the thousands of stings.
One reason that the ants have multiplied so greatly in the United States is that when they were brought to the United States, their natural enemies were not brought with them. Nowadays some of the Phorid flies that attack them in South America have been brought to the United States, and it is hoped that they will control the ants in the United States in the same way that they control them in South America.
There are many other kinds of ant in the genus called Solenopsis, more than 200. Some of them are fire ants like Solenopsis invicta, but others have very different habits; for example some of them will parasitise the nests of other kinds of Solenopsis.
Ant comes from the Old English word æmette, which comes from the Western Germanic word amaitjo, which is derived from a compound of bases including ai- "off, away" + *mait- "cut," or which may mean something like "it that cuts off," or, "the biter." Emmet, a synonym for 'ant' which survived into the 20th century, is closer to the Old English term. Perhaps in usage it was reduced to one syllable - emmt -which lends itself more closely to ant. (from the Oxford English Dicstionary)
What is the body temperature of an ant?
The body temperature of an ant can vary depending on the species and their environment, but it generally ranges from 77°F to 95°F (25°C to 35°C). Ants are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature.
"yes, how do you think they communicate?"
They communicate with scent trails. Whoever said that obviously didnt even look it up.
Ants hear, per se, through vibrations. Sounds send virbrations, which in turn go through the ground into the ants feet. On the basis of communication, ants "talk" to each other through scents, which lead a trail much like a dog would follow, and pheremones, which in turn affect the ants mood.
The ants actually touch antennae to comunicate too because if you see a group of ants you would think they were kissing, but they are communicating.
