Ants



Hi! Do you know that our eyes are made of many smaller eyes? We have two stomachs. We can lift 40 times our own body weight. The queen lays eggs. At night the worker ants move the eggs and larvae deep into the nest to protect them from the cold. During the daytime, the worker ants move the eggs and larvae of the colony to the top of the nest so that they can be warmer. If a worker ant has found a good source for food, it leaves a trail of scent so that the other ants in the colony can find the food. Army Ant are nomadic and they are always moving. For every human there are one million ants.
