What are the ants? The morphology? Where do you live and how do they organize?

3
00:00:24,579 --> 00:00:32,579
How do they feed on? How do they reproduce? And interesting facts of them.

4
00:00:32,579 --> 00:00:42,579
What are ants? Ants are a type of insect. There are roughly around 1,000 different species of ants.

5
00:00:42,579 --> 00:00:56,579
They all range in size from 2 to 25 mm long. To visualize their size, they are often referred to being around the same as the paper clip.

6
00:00:56,579 --> 00:01:00,579
Ants are usually either brown, yellow, red, or black.

7
00:01:00,579 --> 00:01:10,340
Morphology. There are three types of ants, the worker that is female, queen that is female,

8
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:22,739
and the male. A worker is divided in three parts, the head, thorax, and abdomen. For example,

9
00:01:22,739 --> 00:01:39,739
In the head, there are the ocelli, compound eyes, mandibles, and in the thorax, the legs and the abdomen, the petiole.

10
00:01:39,739 --> 00:01:46,739
There are more types of ants.

11
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:56,739
For example, this hand has a sting and a post petiole.

12
00:01:56,739 --> 00:02:07,739
The male parts are the same as the worker, but it has wings.

13
00:02:07,739 --> 00:02:14,740
And the queen, that is the female, is the same and with wings.

14
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:19,740
Where do you live and how they organize?

15
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:29,740
Ants are social insects. They live in colonies that can grow to as many few million members.

16
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:36,740
Ants work together to gather food and care for the young.

17
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:51,740
and their behavior is surprisingly coordinated and methodological for hatching singlet insects.

18
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:56,740
An individual ant's behavior depends on the caster.

19
00:02:56,740 --> 00:03:05,740
In a colony, this division is marked by the same casters, queens, workers and males.

20
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:15,740
Queens are primarily responsible for reproduction, while workers maintain the needs for food,

21
00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:19,740
care for the young, and defend the colony.

22
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:30,740
Ants are insects whose social life is highly organized, but are bound only to that of honeybees

23
00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:39,319
and or termites. Ants are considered a social insect because they live in

24
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:47,479
urbanized colonies and form complex societies. Ants usually boil their nest

25
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:55,280
underground, some ants, and boil their nest behind rocks or decaying wood in

26
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,400
In home, ants may decide to nest in ants.

27
00:04:02,819 --> 00:04:03,199
Living.

28
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:08,560
Bees and their mates live in colonies with caste societies.

29
00:04:09,659 --> 00:04:11,500
Who do they feed on?

30
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,459
Ants need to eat regularly to stay healthy and reproduce.

31
00:04:17,180 --> 00:04:18,579
Ants are omnivores.

32
00:04:18,579 --> 00:04:21,600
They can be fed with a variety of food.

33
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:30,160
for example pieces of bread, sugar, small pieces of fruit, nectar, seed, mushrooms or insects.

34
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,920
The ants are divided into the queen and the workers. Queen ants feed on food with a lot of

35
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:46,079
proteins and workers feed on food with less protein. How they reproduce? They reproduce

36
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:54,800
sexual and asexual, depending the ant they want to create. For example, if they want to create a

37
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,319
worker ant, they reproduce sexually, and if they want to create another queen, they

38
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,800
reproduce asexually.

39
00:05:33,329 --> 00:05:38,209
Asexual. In some species, the queens use alternative models

40
00:05:38,209 --> 00:05:50,209
of reproduction from the production of reproductive queens and non-reproductive workers .

41
00:05:50,209 --> 00:05:59,009
New queens are produced asexually by detox parthenogenesis while workers are produced

42
00:05:59,009 --> 00:06:02,189
by normal sexual reproduction.

43
00:06:02,189 --> 00:06:13,019
Ants reproduce through a process initiated by the nuptial flight, where virgin

44
00:06:13,019 --> 00:06:16,279
queen ants mate with males in the egg.

45
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:24,639
After mating, the queen stores the sperm, unspecialized pounds, and uses it to fertilize

46
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,879
eggs throughout her lifetime.

47
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:36,839
Interesting facts of them, ants are as old as dinosaurs, ants are ecologically important,

48
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:47,920
ants can become zombies, ants are strong, male ants have wings, ants do not have ears,

49
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,379
ants can be waterproof, ants have two stomachs.
