Ants Facts

Did you know that ants are some of the most industrious and organized insects on the planet? There are over 12,000 species of ants, each with unique behaviors and characteristics. Ant colonies can range from a few dozen individuals to millions, with a complex social structure including workers, soldiers, and a queen. Ants communicate using chemicals called pheromones and work together to build nests, find food, and protect their colony. They can lift objects many times their own body weight and are found in almost every corner of the world.
