Text for question 37 to 40
Ant is an insect from the family Formicidae. Ants live underground, in dead wood, or
sometimes in plant cavities. Most ants are black, brown, tan, or or red.
All ants are social insects. Ant colonies divide their job between workers, queens, and male
reproductives. Winged queens and males fly in swarms to mate. Once mated, queens lose their
wings and establish a new nest site; males die. Workers take care of to the colony's offspring,
even rescuing the pupae when the nest is disturbed. The all-female gathers food, constructs the
nest, and keeps the colony clean.
Feeding habits vary in the ant family. Most ants prey on small insects or scavenge bits of
dead organisms. Many also feed on nectar or honeydew, the sweet substance left behind by
aphids. Some use gathered leaf bits to grow fungus in their nests.
The complete metamorphosis of an ant may take from 6 weeks to 2 months. Fertilized eggs
always produce females, while unfertilized eggs yield males. The queen can control the sex of
her offspring by selectively fertilizing the eggs with sperm, which she stores after a single mating
period. White, legless larvae hatch from eggs, completely dependent on worker ants for their
care. The workers feed the larvae with regurgitated food.
