Why can't an ant by drowned by holding its head underwater?
Not just their heads, they breathe through spiracles which are on each body segment. If you are thinking of doing this to an ant, think about how you would like someone doing that to you.....
What is the character of the story the ant and the grasshoppers?
The ant and the grasshopper were hopping along,
Little was disturbing them in their insect-like song,
But all of a sudden a big crash was heard,
The ant and the grasshopper leapt off with their herd.
They went back to their home and stories rang out,
The ant and the grasshopper and the noise it was about,
But little did the ant and the grasshopper know,
The disastrous adventure they were about to forgo.
Later that night they went back to the scene,
The grass and the dew was shiny and pristine,
But what was that lying down on the grass?
Their cousin Jeffery with a prolapsed-arse.
They began to crawl towards him, minds blinded with fear,
Seeing such a crevice in poor Jeffery's rear,
They took the chance and frolicked inside,
The ant in the grasshopper, in young Jeffery's behind.
With their feet, mostly. If they are moving from one "bivouac" (camp) to a new one, the workers carry the eggs and larvae (young ants, still grubs) in their jaws. They also carry the queen, some food, whatever they can carry. They are likely to attack and chop up any insects, spiders and the like that they catch while moving. When they have settled in a bivouac, such as in a hollow tree, they send out columns of workers and soldiers to find food, such as stray insects or termites, that they bring back to feed the young and the queen.
For that reason people generally are glad when army ants show up; all you have to do is leave the house promptly, taking pets and babies with you, and stay out till they leave after a night or a few days. When you come back your house will be pest-free.
Some kinds of Army ants also eat small animals like lizards and mice that they catch, and if they find even large animals, some African species will eat them too if they can't get away, like if they are in cages or tied up, or babies in cribs. There are many kinds of Army ants in South America and different kinds in Africa.
When they are on the march, if they have to cross rivers and so on, they actually make bridges of their own bodies, chains of workers over which their companions can climb. Male army ants of most species can fly from one colony to another to mate.
Why do ants stretch when they wake up?
yes they do. they also sleep at night like us. they have a skeloton that is inside out that is called an exoskeleton.glad i could be a help!

What do you do about black ant bites?
If you're not allergic, you should immediately wash the bitten area with soap and water and gently scrub it in a circular motion. Then put a mixture of baking soda and water on the bite to neutralize the venom. Apply ice, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, to keep the swelling down. An antihistamine will also help with the swelling and itching.
It depends on the species of frog. The Eastern Narrowmouth Toad (Gastrophryne carolinensis) mainly lives of ants. Most frogs and toads however rather avoid ants because of ther bite and/or sting.
Who made pasiphae fall in love with a bull which resulted in the birth of the minotaur?
I don't see why you can't just look this up using either google or a mythology site.... Anyway, it's poseidon. I didn't even know that till I looked it up!
IT matters what kind of spider you are refuring to but ussually yes
Does an ant have a complete metamorphosis?
Yes, they go through the four stages: Egg, Larvae, Pupa, and Adult
Fourmi. (like formic acid)
La fourmi (feminine noun, singular), les fourmis (plural)
yes it has an exoskeleton
Ants belong to a phylum called the arthropods. Arthropods have shells, which are classified as a type of external skeleton or exoskeleton. They do not have internal skeletons of the type that we vertebrates have.
Why do insects ant most animals lay many eggs at a time?
They are r-selected species, which means their reproductive strategy is to produce as many tiny offspring as possible and invest as little energy and care into them as they can. Because they are so tiny and have no parental care, almost all of them die before becoming adults, but that doesn't matter because there are so many of them. Their populations exist far below the carrying capacity of the environment, so they have adapted to be able to fill the environment with as many offspring as possible without worrying about running out of resources.
This is as opposed to a K-selected species like a human or bear, where only a few relatively large offspring are produced, and lots of energy and parental care are invested in them. These species exist in populations near the carrying capacity of the environment and therefore they cannot produce hundreds of offspring at a time without draining all the environment's resources and causing a population crash.
No they do not. Sounds make the ground vibrate. Ants can feel those vibrations through their feet.
No. they are harmless. However, it is a good idea to be careful of they're mouth because, like every other animal that has teeth, if they feel scared they will bite. The wound is not dangerous unless the animal is infected with some sort of disease. In that case, it is a good idea to get vaccinated. Otherwise, simply clean the bite with a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide (to kill any germs) and put a band aid over it.
Is there such thing as a ant with wings?
The Queen originally had wings but soon after mating, looses them and has her millions of lave. The lave turn into ants and become her workers. The workers purpose is to mate. Once mated the male dies and the female grows wings and soon becomes a queen. The process continue but most ants do not make it. Only the female has wings. Hope I helped :)
Ants are omnivores, meaning that they get there nutrients from both plant and animal sources. Different species will eat different things, but many ants will eat all manner of edible things, including scraps of food we leave behind.
Which spices attract ants the most?
I am pretty sure that is sweet scent because my little sister always leave candy on the table by the window and the ants always come the next day.
Early ants had only two teeth, but most modern ants have more - although some are nearly toothless. Larger workers of "nearly toothless" species may have slight hints of teeth but smaller workers have none. The teeth are made of the same tough stuff as an ant's exoskeleton. They look like, and are, extensions of the mandibles.
Some ants have many sharp teeth to penetrate and hold a soft-bodied, squirmy insect long enough to sting it. But such teeth break when the mandibles snap together on a tough foe like a termite soldier. Ants after hard-bodied prey have blunt teeth, and crush the insect with a blow like a sprung trap from their quick-closing jaws.
An African driver ant can bite with her sharp teeth hard enough to hurt a person badly. In fact, these fierce insects can swarm over a large mammal, and literally slice it to death.
All ants have six legs. Some people may say otherwise (8 legs). But if you look it up on the Internet, insect experts will say they have six. You can also catch one and look for yourself.
I believe it certain type can. Alot of beatels usually can. I know alot of this stuff I use to teach science for 8 years (yes sicne I was 19.)
