What is the life cycle of a honeypot ant?
" An ant's life begins as an egg. Ant eggs are soft, oval, and tiny - about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. Not all eggs are destined to become adults - some are eaten by nestmates for extra nourishment.
An egg hatches into a worm-shaped larva with no eyes or legs. Larvae are eating machines that rely on adults to provide a constant supply of food. As a result, they grow rapidly, molting between sizes.
When a larva is large enough, it metamorphosesinto a pupa. This is a stage of rest and reorganization. Pupae look more like adults, but their legs and antennae are folded against their bodies. They start out whitish and gradually become darker. The pupae of some species spin a cocoon for protection, while others remain uncovered, or naked.
Finally, the pupa emerges as an adult. Young adults are often lighter in color, but darken as they age. The process of development from egg to adult can take from several weeks to months, depending on the species and the environment. Did you know that ants, like all insects, are full-grown when they become adults? Their exoskeletons prevent them from getting any larger.
Furthermore, adult ants belong to one of three castes: queen, worker, or male.
Queens are females that were fed more as larvae. They are larger than workers and lay all the eggs in a colony - up to millions in some species! Queens initially have wings and fly to find a mate(s), but they tear them off before starting a new colony. A queen can live for decades under the right conditions.
Workers are females that were fed less as larvae. They do not reproduce, but perform other jobs, such as taking care of the brood, building and cleaning the nest, and gathering food. Workers are wingless and typically survive for several months.
Males have wings and fly to mate with queens. They live for only a few weeks and never help with the chores of the colony."" THIS INFO WAS COPIED FROM SOME ONE ELSE SO...
Why yes, they do. they also will eat many sweet foods like syrup and ice cream ( i tested it )

No, not usually. Ants typically have a vegetarian diet. It is very unlikely their jaws are strong enough to eat humans.
What would happen if ants were extinct?
If the ants become extinct, then technically we messed up BIG time. There are so many of them, if all of them died, we would be pretty much dead too. If we were alive when this happened, there is no explanation of what the hell we did to kill them all and get away with it.
I only know about Leaf-cutter ants. They find leaves, let them rot, then eat the mold.
Howler monkeys accually eat with there tails. This is because of the strong muscles in there tails.
Ants are opportunist just like any other insect or animal that is looking for food and water. They make no distinction whether it belongs to them or not. They sense food is present and easy to obtain, and move quickly to get it.
Yes they do the queen is called the mother of all ants
because she lays all the eggs
How do you get rid of tiny little red ants in the apartments?
Sometimes in apartments, no matter how well you clean your kitchen and keep all your food (especially sweet things) in sealed containers, the ants may travel through your apartment on their way between other apartments that aren't so clean.
