Ants are true social insects and have a very complex and various biology.

True social insects like the ants include social wasps, social bees and termites. This means they live in colonies with only several individuals that can lay eggs, or reproduce, and many sterile worker individuals. social ants can track and subdue there victim together, cultivate
and care for the brood, recruit nest mates to a rich food source, among different other functions.

Ants usually found on every continent around the world except Antarctica because ants is warm blooded species. Ants are thought to make up about 10 represent of all kinds of animal biological mass worldwide. This social organization means an ant colony works
together for the common goal of colony growth and reproduction. There
are over 10,000 species of ants among the more famous are army ants, driver ants, leafcutter ants, weaver ants, and slave-making ants many of which have evolved extraordinarily diverse life strategies.

There are many advantages to being social, why did not other insects evolve sociality? Sociality evolved in these specific groups and no others, evolution proceeds largely by chance. Most mutations are harmful or neutral, ants can form tight mutualisms with other
species, both plant and animal. Genetic mutation occurs by chance if a mutation encodes a favorable change, thus favoring that trait in the population, individuals may grow or reproduce better or more quickly than individuals without the trait. Most ants build some sort of nest under and above the ground, in trees and houses where they live and bring
their food to. Many ants will tend leaf-feeding insects, such as aphids or scale insects, for their sweet, carbohydrate-rich secretions.

Ants gain food and energy and the plant feeding insects gain formidable protection of ants against other predators. Most of the ants will tend leaf-feeding insects such as aphids or scale insects for their carbohydrate, sweet-rich secretion. Ants protect the plant from browsers or feeding insects, and the plants provide a place to live and even produce
protein or sugary food bodies. Ants have developed close relationships with such neither organism survives as well in the absence of the other with plants.

In the amazon rainforest various ants are an even larger component, making up almost one-third of the animal biomass. In the colony of ants you find infertile female workers predominate, wingless, foraging and brood-tending.

In some species the queens start their new colony alone. Queens starting on their own do not have a lot of food to begin with because of the first workers are normally smaller than they are in a big nest.

Fertilized winged female becomes the queen and may found her own nest. The whole colony moves with the queen and brood protected by the huge soldiers who kill everything that comes into their way. Out of the thousand of winged queens only a few normally stay alive to build a new colony of ants. Most ants build some sort of nest under and above the ground, in trees and houses where they live and bring their food to. In some species they may also stay in the colony or the surrounding area. Males die after mating. After forays against other ants, Amazon ants bring back unconsumed brood to serve as slaves as soon as they have matured. The Harvester Ants frequently visit grass fields to harvest and store the grass seeds they are specialized workers crack the seeds for the other ants to eat.
