Ants

Strangely, it is the workers, not the queen, that determine a particular egg should develop into a queen.

When the colony decides that more queens are needed, either in preparation to swarm or to replace the old queen they will prepare queen cells which are larger than the usual brood cell and the queen will lay an egg in them, or if the queen has died the workers will draw a queen cell out over a recently laid egg or very young larva.

All larvae are fed with a substance called royal jelly for the first two or three days. Worker larvae are then weaned on to a mixture of pollen and honey. However, if a larva is fed royal jelly for the whole of its larval life until pupation it will develop into a queen.

They don't. Ants have six legs, just like any other insect (allowing for special cases like adult female bagworms that have lost legs). They also have two antennae (feelers), though those are not generally used for any sort of locomotion, but if you counted the antennae as legs you would get eight, not seven. Insects often have two other limbs at the tips of their abdomens. They are called cerci and they also are not real legs, but some insects use them for feelers or pincers. The so-called "silverfish" or "fish moths" use them for feelers.

As for "why", that is a very dangerous word to use; you should always ask yourself what sort of answer you really want; why do you have two legs? Why does a dog have four legs? Why does a lion have two legs for dinner?

The nearest I can get to a meaningful answer is that insects have six legs because of the way they are built; the way they develop in their eggs, their bodies are built up of a train of little blocks we call segments (so are humans in fact, but never mind that for now) Each segment has "legs" or appendages of some sort, depending on where it is on the insect's body. Most of those legs vanish as the insect grows. Animals like millipedes that have many legs have a lot of trouble controlling them. Two, four or six, eight, maybe even ten, are a good number for efficient walking, running or jumping. Some ancient insect had six on its seventh to ninth segments or so, and that worked well for its lifestyle, so its young did well. All other insects were descended from them. So: six legs each...

I hope that helps.

In most species, yes. The territory includes their immediate nest area and perhaps their surrounding foraging area. However, there are some species, such as the Argentine ant accidentally introduced into the United States over a century ago, that have such a high degree of genetic uniformity that ants from different nests don't attack each other and behave as a vast "supercolony", stretching from California to Texas, and beyond.

Queen ants live 10 to 20 years, but many claims suggest that they can live up to 30 years.

Internal. The queen mates with several drones on a mating flight about a week after she emerges from the pupal cell. The sperm she receives is stored in an organ called the spermetheca and is sufficient to fertilize her eggs throughout her whole laying life.

because they want 2 rape it so hard and chop the penis out

Yes, ants do have a leader. The queen ant is the leader of all the ants. However, there are ants of a higher rank that tell the lower rank ants what the queen wants. It is sort of like being in the army.

It depends on who is talking and what they mean. There are many kinds of sugars in nature, and still more that do not occur in nature but that have been made in the laboratory and that is what makes them artificial. They are not important in day-to-day use, because they are expensive and usually useless as well.

One also could make sugars that one does find in nature, and because you had made them artificially, that would make them artificial even though they were the same as the natural sugars. Think of high fructose corn syrup for example. People break starch down into glucose (which is "making glucose", if you like) then they treat the glucose with a natural enzyme that twists part of the molecule so as to swap the positions of a few atoms, and that turns it into fructose, much as twisting a piece of wire can make a paper clip. The wire wasn't a paper clip before you started, but is now. Similarly the molecule wasn't fructose before, but is now. But fructose is the same sugar one finds a lot of in fruit, so it is natural even if it is artificial as well.

However, some people speak of "artificial sugars" or "artificial sweeteners", when what they mean is "sugar substitutes". Some of the sweeteners aren't really artificial, but come from plants, but none of them are sugars, artificial or not. Examples of such chemicals are saccharine, aspartame, and cyclamate. Some that are not artificial are stevia, sorbitol and thaumatin.

ant.... or is it dec?

"Up and Atom."

ants do not have any scales

Childproof traps work well but you will need to put them everywhere. Buy two or three for each room that needs them. Clean with vinegar and water on counters and floors. This will not hurt any kind of flooring and keeps ants from coming in. Try sprinkling talcum powder thickly across their tracks -especially at the points where they are entering the house. Recommended by exterminator during his last visit to my home:

Food grade diatomaseous earth works better than talcum. It causes them to dry out and die. Another remedy is borax or boric acid available at your drug store. It causes their exoskeletons to dissolve. Virtually harmless to humans. Yet another remedy is cream of wheat (uncooked)-- they eat it, it expands... and pop! They die.

cockroaches..

The largest ant in the colony is usually the Queen.

His real name is stuart addam goodman

No.

Ants don't have bones. Like other insects, they are arthropods and have an exoskeleton (hard covering outside their body) instead.

yes

no

Nmlh = Ant ...

The ant is done for... the fly gets geeked and carires it off to his homeboys and they feast.
