Ants

There are many differences when it comes to grasshoppers and ants. Grasshoppers can jump and ants cannot. They also eat different things, and an ant does not make any noises.

Seagulls prefer to eat fish and mollusks, or other relatively large edible items; flying ants are too small to interest them.

Because a caterpillar is the first stage of a butterflies life!! xx

white ants steal black ant larva

Yes, ants are native to Florida, but there are also several non-native species that have been introduced and become pests.

The greatest advantage of pesticides is their ability to eliminate pests. However, pesticides also carry the risk of poisoning beneficial plants and animals. Some forms of pesticides even directly damage the environment.

well it depends on the type of ant. for example a leaf cutter ant eats fungus and a fire ant may eat insects, worms, and seeds

it might sound crazy but it really works great...when u clean the floor..instead of soap and water..it's water and gas (I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT PUT GAS ON YOUR FLOOR, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS)...it cleans the floor great and keep all of bugs types away and ants..

a Colony of ants

It is much like the life cycle of most ants. The males (winged) and the winged females are released from the nest of the ant colony and fly away. Those that find each other mate and then the male dies and the female goes off and starts a nest in some convenient spot, usually sheltering under a bit od stone or rubbish. There she lays eggs and tends them, licking them to keep them clean. In her spare time she starts a burrow for better shelter. We say that she is the queen ant of the new colony. When her eggs hatch they produce larvae like tiny maggots, except that they have heads rather like caterpillars (real maggots just have a pair of hook-like jaws sticking out at the front). She feeds them from her own bodily materials, largely made out of her flight muscles, which she will never use again anyway. The larvae, meaning baby insects, grow to the size of fairly small workers (after all, she could not afford to feed them much) and then the change their skins and change their shape into something that looks a bit like a soft, white ant. This stage of the ant's life we call the pupa and we say that the larva has pupated. The pupa lies without moving for a few days, remodelling its insides. Then the pupa changes its skin and out comes a small worker ant. When the worker ant has hardened its outer skeleton, it sets to work hunting food from outside the nest and it feeds any larvae that have not yet pupated. Because it can get more food from outside than the young queen could spare, the new larvae can grow bigger and the queen can stop tending the eggs and larvae. Instead she just feeds and lays many more eggs so that the colony can have lots of worker ants to hunt food and dig a big nest. When the colony is strong enough, with lots of food and plenty of workers, she will begin to lay some eggs that will hatch into male larvae (all the workers and soldiers are females). The male larvae, and some of the female larvae, pupate and change into winged ants that go out and start new colonies just as their parents did.

Yes. If they live long enough, they will get their wings and be able to fly (just like all other insects).

ants work hard to find the right food and stay away from enemies

Leaf-Cutter Ants are in the Panamanian Jungles

Well, lots of insects have little pads, called arolia, between the hooked claws on the tips of their legs. They can stick to smooth surfaces with these pads using the same principle as those pieces of plastic, which use the same basic principle as a suction cup--a vacuum. When climbing on rough surfaces, such as a wall or ceiling, a vacuum can't be formed, so they use those tiny little claws. If you could see the surface of your walls and ceilings through a microscope, you'd see there are plenty of places for tiny things to put their hooks and climb away. Ants can generate more than enough force to keep their tiny, air-filled bodies from falling, generally speaking. Sometimes they do fall, though; you just need to watch them often enough, and on the right kind of surface. Most insects have two sets of climbing tools on their feet, one for smooth surfaces and one for rough surfaces. Some insects have the additional capacity of being able to secrete a thin film of oil on the pads, which gives them even greater sticking power, mostly because it gives an even better vacuum, and also has surface tension effects. Just try taking a square millimeter of thin plastic with a micro-drop of corn oil on it, and see if it won't stick to your ceiling or any other surface. --------------------------- Walls, or even windows and mirrors look smooth to us. But under a microscope you would see lots of little ridges, holes and other marks that an ant can fit the tiny little hooks at the ends of their legs into and climb right up.

^ Poor answer. Someone fix it.

There are a couple of ways to stop ants from climbing glass. One way to stop the ants is to spray the glass with water.

If a bee were to sting an ant, the ant would certainly die. But a bee would usually have no reason to sting an ant.

There is an image of a winged carpenter ant at the related link below.

(*Adult termites also fly, but they are not entomologically ants. Sometimes carpenter ants, which damage but do not consume wood, are mistaken for swarming termites.)

Just imagine being stabbed in the back and injected with a host egg of the notorious Phorid fly arch enemy of the ant. . . . . . . .The phorids, also known as humpbacked flies, are small to minute flies that resemble fruit flies in appearance. The Phorid fly lacks the red eye color that is the classic trademark of the fruit fly. Phorid flies are in the small category of flies, measuring up to 1/8 inch in length, including the wings. The most prominent feature of this fly is the humpbacked shape of its thorax. The severe arch of the thorax gives it the common nickname of humpbacked fly

Honey pot ants are eaten by humans as well as other desert dwellers. Anteaters are large predators that can take out a colony. Ants also fall victims to various beetles and other ants.

No. They only eat crumbs.

No- a carnivore is a meat eater.

Ants tend to eat sugars, meats and fats from plants and insects although many will consume plants matter such as wood leaves and cellulose. There are many different species and their diets vary from one to another.

ten million times more than the amount of humans

Ants have an exo-skeleton - i.e. it is outside their body.
