How do you tell if a ant is a boy or a girl?

Ants are a social/hive/colony insect. The colony has one female queen (which will be very large) and one male ant (which may have died after fertilizing the queen). All the rest of the ants in the colony are sterile workers (no mater how big they are or what they look like).

About once a year the queen will lay fertile eggs and these will grow to become immature males and females. These immature ants will normally have wings and will leave the nest to mate and start new colonies. The females are normally bigger than the males because they need the fat reserves to start rearing a new brood.
