Ants

Picture
Ants are social insects that live in colonies which are located in the ground, but may enter buildings for food and/or shelter. Ants feed on practically every kind of food, but those entering homes are looking for sweets and/or protein-containing substances.
 
Ants are usually divided into two groups based on their typical nesting preferences, either wall-nesting or ground-nesting ants. The five most common wall nesting ants are the Carpenter Ant, Crazy Ant, Odorous House Ant, Pharaoh Ant and the Theif Ant. The most commonly encountered ground-nesting ants are the Argentine Ant, Pavement Ant, Little Black Ant, Velvet Tree Ant and Fire Ants.
 
Ants consist of three body segments...the head, thorax and abdomen. They have a complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa and adult. They are social insects and the colonies contain 3 distinct castes: workers, queens and males.
