Believe me, no one knows for sure, but in an average anthill, there are about... 700,000 ants. In small ones in the cracks of sidewalks, there are about 200. Big ones that live in the ground, there are about 500,000 to 700,000. It doesn't seem like there are that many, but there are. Do you see those other ant hills around your house, and on the sidewalks? Well, those are some of them too. And they're producing even more by the second. Millions! There's a queen ant in some of them, and the soldiers have babies with her. Workers never have babies with the queen.

Is an ant an incect?

Yes, an ant is an insect. Insects are classified by having three body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen), six legs, and typically two pairs of wings. Ants fit this classification as they have all these characteristics.


Are ants sexual or asexual reproducers?

the only male in the entire colony (and the only ant that isn't blind) is the drones, or those flying ants. the queen only has to mate once and she will produce babies all the time, when a colony of ants moves, the queen has to temporarilly shut off her ability to give birth. once the ants have reached their new destination, the queen sends out a signal for one of the drones to come and mate with her so that she can produce babies again. the drone is to big to fit inside the anthill, so the other ants have to clip of his wings so that he can get inside the colony, after mating, the drone then dies.


How many chambers does a ant have in its heart?

The heart of an insect is very different from that of a human or any other mammal. It is a tube running from the rear of the insect to inside the head. More or less matching the bodily segments the basic tube shape is formed into segments with one chamber in each, but the more advanced the insect type, the more the heart is modified to fit the body and the fewer segments remain. For instance there are about six segments in the insect's head, but modern insects have no heart chambers in the head at all. In the hearts of the most derived (or advanced, if you prefer the word) insects, such as ants, bees and wasps, also some flies, there are five chambers. with five pairs of holes to match and four one-way valves between the chambers.


Can ants smell?

Like all insects, Ants do indeed breath. However, unlike humans and other mammals they do not have lungs and the oxygen is not carried by the blood. Instead they take oxygen in to their bodies through openings in the abdomen. This system of tubes, called tracheae and tracheoles, allows Atmospheric oxygen to pass to the tissues. The outside openings of tracheae are called "spiracles". Ants are small enough that they need only a few spiracles and these do not have valves to control the oxygen flow, as with larger insects.
