sometimes it depends on what type of size it is but most likely yes
No, ants are not mammals. They are insects.
The main characteristic of a Mammal is that is gives birth to live young. Ants are hatched from eggs so therefore cannot be categorised as mammals. Ants also have the characteristic three part body of an insect.

Difference between red ants and fire ants?
Actually, they are the same. They could be very deadly if you are allergic to them. Pretty much I'm saying red ant's nickname is fire ants because red ant stings burn so bad like fire.
The same way they eat anything else. You may find the notion disgusting, but that's more a sign of the culture you've been raised in than anything else. Some people eat grubs, slugs, snails, insects larger and much "juicier" than ants, raw oysters, raw fish, raw beef, the salivary glands of sheep, chopped up lungs mixed with oatmeal... ants aren't even close to the top of the "ewww, that's gross" list.
Why ant and shrimp in same phylum animalia?
Both shrimp and ants are in the animal kingdom and share the same phylum, anthropod. Although the two animals differ in many ways, they share the same feature of an exoskeleton so they are both classified as arthropods.
What do you do about ants on your grape vine?
Lots and Lots of Vaseline. Just cover every grape in about 15 ounces of Vaseline. When its just about completely enveloped in the goopy formation let it sit in the Sun for about 3 hours. That should make it unpenetrable to a bug of any size or origin.

Some worker ants secrete fluid from their bodies to use as glue, and soldier ants secrete venom through a stinger or sprayer on the abdomen. No species of ant has a separate urinary tract, but rather a single anal orifice.
No. The aquatic kind of spiracle (such as you'd find on rays and skates) could be located only on cartilaginous fish, or the most primitive of the bony fish. The loosest definition of spiracles seems to include a respiratory opening such as the blowhole in whales; lobsters do have ventral openings to the gills but these are anatomically dissimilar to those. (Also since lobsters are aquatic, they do not possess spiracles of the type you'd find on insects.)
What is an easy way to kill fire ants in fallout 3?
i think it would be to put down bottlecap mines and move back to let them do all the work

Can you kill an ant with a Nerf gun?
Yes, you can kill an ant with a Nerf gun. But make sure you have a good aim at it. If you don't have a good aim, I prefer you get the AS-10 Nerf gun and if you're a really bad shot then get the AS-20 Nerf gun. But the easiest way to kill it is to kill it with the Nerf bow and arrow product.
Arachnids (spiders, mites and ticks) have 8 legs.
correct
How do you stop ants getting into your home?
When I had a problem with them, I scrubbed my kitchen and around the patio door where they were coming in and when it had all dried I sprayed a line of hairspray (any will do...I use extra hold!) right across the step of the patio door and they never crossed it after that. They don't like hairspray. Try it! Good luck!
What is the difference between the suffixes ant and ent?
There isn't a rule. This is an example of the nonsensical state of English spelling.
The origin is Latin; -ant derives from the present participle of 1st conjugation latin verbs while -ent comes from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th conjugations. The matter is further complicated by passage of Latin originals through French to English. The French sensibly adopted -and for their spelling, and generally the English took that on. But around 1500 some academic snobs or other decided English spelling should reflect its true source and left us with the mess we have now.
So, the only way you can be sure of the 'correct' English spelling (apart from the exceptions, of course) is to learn Latin!
Here's what the online OED has to say:
-ant, suffix
a. Fr. -ant, sometimes:L. -entem, -ntem, -ntem, ending of pres. pple. (see -ENT); sometimes a later adaptation of -ntem only. All the participial forms were in OFr. levelled under -ant, the sole ending of the pr. pple., as L. amnt-, vidnt-, sednt-, crdent-em in Fr. amant, voyant, séant, croyant. But other words were subsequently adopted in their L. stem form, as prudent, présent, élégant. Hence Fr. words in -ant are of two kinds, one answering to L. -nt, the other to L. -ent, -nt. All were adopted, in their actual Fr. forms, in Eng., where they subseq. became -aunt; then again, with the change of stress, -ant, as L. affdent-em, diff-dent-em, plicnt-em, servient-em, tennt-em, OFr. afiant, defiant, pliant, serjeant, tenant, ME. afia(u)nt, defia(u)nt, plia(u)nt, serjeaunt, tenaunt. Most of them retain -ant, e.g. claimant, pleasant, poursuivant, servant, suppliant, valiant; but since 1500 some have been refashioned with -ent after L., wholly (as apparaunt, -ent), or partly (as in pendant, -ent, dependant, -ent, ascendant, -ent). Hence, inconsistency and uncertainty in the present spelling of many words, in which L. and Fr. analogies are at variance: see -ENT. Many new words of this class have been adopted from L. -ntem directly or through later Fr., or have been formed on L. analogies, or adopted from mod.Fr. and Romance -ant, -ante; as concomitant, protestant, commandant, anæsthesiant. For sense, see -ENT.
-ent, suffix
a. Fr. -ent, ad. L. -ent-em, the ending of pr. pples. of vbs. of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th conjugation, as rdent-em, currentem, audientem. (In the pples. of the 3rd and 4th conjugation this ending represents OAryan -nt-, or perh. -ent-, of the ablaut-series -ent-, -ont-, -nt-; cf. Skr. -ant-, -at-, Gr. --, Goth. -and-, OE. -end-; in those of the 2nd conjugation it represents this suffix combined with the thematic -e- of the vb.; similarly the -ant- of the 1st conjugation includes a thematic -a-.) In OFr. this suffix and the corresponding -ant-em of the 1st conjugation were levelled under -ant, the sole ending of the Fr. pr. pple., as riant, courant, mourant, levant (:L. levantem). At a later time many L. forms in -ent-, which had acquired an adj. sense, were adopted in Fr. as adjs. with the -ent- unchanged, as diligent, évident; some of these were duplicates of living ppl. forms in -ant, as convénient = convenant, provident = pourvoyant, confident = confiant. The Fr. words in -ant, -ent, which were adopted into Eng., have generally retained the form of the suffix which they had in Fr.; but since 1500 there has been a tendency to refashion them after Lat., and hence several words in -ant have changed that ending for -ent, either entirely or in certain senses. In mod.Eng. also many Lat. words in -entem have been directly adopted, always in the form -ent. The conflict between Eng. and Fr. analogies occasions frequent inconsistency and uncertainty in the present spelling of words with this suffix; cf. e.g. assistant, persistent; attendant, superintendent; dependant, -ent, independent.
2. In sense the words in -ent, -ant are primarily adjs., sometimes distinctly ppl., as convergent, obsolescent, errant, peccant; some, however, are, like many words of the same type in Lat. and Fr., used as ns. (either in addition to the adj. use or exclusively), meaning (a) a personal agent, as agent, claimant, president, regent; (b) a material agent, as coefficient, current, ingredient, secant, tangent, torrent; esp. in Medicine, as aperient, astringent, emollient, expectorant.
If you eat an ant will you die?
No. In fact, many insects are a part of human diets in many parts of the world. (Still, venomous ants and bugs are not recommended for consumption.)
Does peppermint oil repel mice?
Perhaps, though most likely not. Peppermint oil repels insects.
I've lived 20 years in an old farm house surrounded by hay fields, deer woods, and cattle. I've battled field mice, and pack rats, the entire time I've lived here.
I hear about peppermint oil on cotton balls via television and thought it was worth a try. I started with the drawer under my oven, cleaned it really good
with hot soapy water and towel dried it. Took four cotton balls and dabbed peppermint oil on each of them and placed them in each corner of the drawer.
A few days later I located a pack rat nest in another drawer in the kitchen and I cleaned it and put four peppermint oil dabbed cotton balls, one in each corner and shut the drawer.
That was two weeks ago. I checked the drawers today for the first time since placing the peppermint oil dabbed cotton balls in them. No sign of mice at all! It's winter time and mice move in for the winter every winter. Thing winter they may be moving our permanently! The peppermint oil also kills off the horrible smell left behind by the mice. If in fact peppermint oil does repel insects, I pray it works for brown recluse spiders. I'll keep an eye out for those also come spring. I'll loving the stuff and plan to grow my own peppermint and make my own oil. Brig Gen
How do you get rid of facebook dont want it ant longer?

What is the gestation period for an ant?
Ants don't have gestation periods because they lay eggs - they don't have live babies like mammals do.
It depends on the species of ant. The leaf cutter ant, cuts leaves, takes them back to their nests, then they place them in a special garden within the nest, fungus grows on the leaves and this is fungus is fed to the colony. Other ants eat grains or other insects, some even eating chicks or birds. Lizards, snakes and caterpillars, to name but a few menu items.
Yes, The heart is a long tube that pumps colorless blood from the head back to the rear and then back up to the head again. The blood kind of coats the insides of the ants and is then sucked into the tube and pumped up to the head again. Ants do not have lungs.
