Ants

The common color for an ant is black or red because that is the most common color we see for an ant

It is rumored that tossing rice in a ant hill will kill them. This is because the rice would expand inside them once eaten. It can kill some ants, it is best to use specific ant pest removal products to get rid of them.

Ants are able to find food by communicating with each other. They use they pheromones to direct each other on where the food would be.

The best way is to prevent them from getting in. You can do this by limiting the amount of food in open view and keeping the floors clean, even then it's normal to find some and you can easily kill them with a shoe or newspaper. I wouldn't recommend pesticides because they're toxic to you and those around you. If you're seeing a lot (hundreds) it would be best to consult a professional exterminator.

Yes. Unicellular animals are just one cell, and you can't see cells with the naked eye. Things that are plainly visible are always multicellular, especially if they have clear parts like legs and eyes and such - those are impossible on a single cell!

Ants are invertebrates without jointed legs and they are located in the insect category.

They have the following characteristics:

1)They have three pairs of legs.

2)They have three body segments.

3)They have one pair of antennae.

4)Most have compound eyes.

5)Most adults have got wings.

If you see red ants attacking you, it means that you have displeased the gods and angered the fates. You must strive to appease the gods by rubbing organic lavender honey on your extremities and engaging in an orgiastic dance on top of the hill of the red ants until the gods are placated. They will usually send a sign, either in the form of chocolate raining down from the heavens or an unexpected pregnancy notice from the Archangel Gabriel, to show that they have been mollified. In the latter case, the gender of the supplicant is irrelevant.

An ant generally lives in a nest/colony made up of several hundred to several thousand ants. Some colonies have been found to have millions of ants. Most Ants have one large ant called a queen ant who lays all of the eggs. The vast majority of Ants in a nest are workers and they are female The only males are the ones that fly out of the nest and mate with a young queen ant so that she can start her own colony. Some ant colonies will have more than one queen. These are the nests that are really large. Most nests are found in the ground though some have been found in walls of buildings and in tree trunks. Really, ants can build a nest just about anywhere.

This depends on the type of ant and location.

In general, there is one day in the year when the colony of ants release winged Queens and males and they mate. The wings drop off and the males die.

(The Queen stores the sperm and uses it for the rest of her life to fertilize each egg she lays.)

In England this day is usually a very hot day in the summer (July/ August) and winged ants appear simultaneously from many nests. Sometimes there are two days when it happens.

ants are in the hexapoda family. hex means six so they have six legs whoopey!

Most army ants live up to six months or 1 year, you can ask me any question, i work with ants and im only 9!

with there pee

It's funny because I'm squeezing an ant right now to see if it'd suffocate....okay this sounds hurredously cruel but it wouldn't suffocate so I just let it go....and so to answer your question, NO.

Ants will bite while a human is sleeping because they will attack anything that is not in motion for any amount of time.

it is because the ant hill is flattened and the whole is washed away

Flying Ants Only Stay For Around 2 Hours And Disappear If You Put Sprays And Things On It Will Therefore Attract Them But Theres Nothing That Will Make Them Go As Its The Summer And That's When They're Most Likely Found ...

Australian Bulldog worker ants and Bullet ants grow to 2.5 cm., which makes them the largest worker ants. But, of course, queen ants are the biggest in each breed of ants, though I don't know how big the Bulldog ant queens are. A queen Driver ant can reach up to 5 cm, and soldier Driver ants can grow to 1.5 cm.

Who doesn't own a bottle of windex?! Sure, it's not exactly a home remedy, but pretty much every person i know has some windex. Just spray the ants and it stops them dead in their tracks, literally!

Ants don't have teeth in the way that humans and other mammals have teeth. They have jaws called mandibles and maxillae, and those jaws have pointy bits on the part with which the ant bites. (Human jaws are also called mandibles and maxillae, but they are quite different.)

The pointy bits on ants' jaws are usually called teeth, even by entomologists, the people who study insects.

However, many such jaws have rows of teeth like a saw blade, and then we say that the jaw is serrated and the teeth may be called serrations.

If you want to be technical, you can call one such tooth a dens, and could speak of dentes when there are many. Both words are from the Latin for tooth, from which we also get the word "dentist". If the teeth are very small, they can be called "denticles".

all insects have 6 legs, if it has ten it isn't an insect

But what about rolly polly ollies they have more then six and i believe them to be insects...by the way thay have 10 legs

Your "rolly polly ollies" (properly known as wood lice, colloquially also called pillbugs, or as I knew them from childhood, armadillo bugs) - are not insects. They belong to different branch of the phylum arthropoda, namely the subphylum crustacea, which also includes crabs and lobsters. There is a family of land arthropods which look a lot like spiders, called solpugids, having 10 legs.

The total number of ants on Earth has been estimated as at least one quadrillion.

This is 1 x 1015, or one thousand million million. The total biomass of ants has been said to exceed that of all other macroscopic animal species combined.

Firstly, you round up as many ants as you can.

Then, find the ant in charge. Get this ant to find the cleverest ants, with the best engineering minds.

Now we look for the ant organising all of the others. Remove this ant. Call it the project manager.

Now, we have to implement our plan. The ant in charge is to brief all of the other ants that they are to design and build ant sized weighing scales.

There is no need for them to mine or refine any raw materials. Humans can provide this.

So when the scales are finished, weigh an 'average' ant on the new scales. You will have to calibrate the scales.

To calibrate the scales, take 1000 ants, and weigh them on some sensitive kitchen scales. Divide the answer by 1000. This is the weight of an ant you can use to calibrate your tiny scales.

Actually, I just woke up to have an ant (now dont laugh) biting my butt. Yeah i know. But i picked it up and I flug it at the wall and it actually made a thunk noise. It was one big ant. Now I have a mark on my butt cheek. It really hurt. Oh yeah, just in case you were wondering...I did have on pants. >.>
