1. Ants are gregarious insects and close relatives of wasps. Ants generally have no wings. Only males and females (females are fertile, but can only reproduce males) have wings when mating, and females lose their wings after mating.

2. Ants are social insects and have a strong love for their nests. Most species nest on the ground or in trees. They eat all kinds of food, usually both plants and meat. There are one or dozens of queens in a nest. Worker ants specialize in nesting, foraging, feeding and other work, with the largest number.

Extended data:

Ants are divided into: lower species, carnivorous, feeding on insects, small animals and even dead animals; Stinky ant subspecies, Formicidae and higher species of Formicidae can feed on animals and plants, especially honeydew secreted by aphids and scale insects; Most other ants are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits and insects.

The reproductive process of ants is generally divided into three parts: mating, spawning and flying. When a nest of ants reaches a certain number, the queen will breed male and female breeding ants in advance. When the time is ripe, the breeding ants will fly out of the nest to mate and start breeding offspring and become new families.

Ants are completely abnormal insects. Complete metamorphosis is a process from egg to adult through larval stage and pupal stage.

Ants can grow normally at 15-40℃, but the optimum temperature is between 25-30℃. When it is below 10℃ in winter, it will enter the cave, but it will not hibernate. They just don't move much. They eat food stored in caves in autumn.
