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 --> 00:01:11,579
Morphology. There are three types of ants, the worker that is female, queen that is female and the male.

8
00:01:11,579 --> 00:01:20,579
A worker is divided in three parts, the head, thorax and abdomen.

9
00:01:20,579 --> 00:01:34,420
For example, in the head there are the ocelli, compound eyes, mandibles, and in the thorax

10
00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:42,239
the legs, and in the abdomen the petiole.

11
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:47,159
There are more types of ants.

12
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:58,159
For example, this hand has a sting and a post petiole.

13
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:10,699
The parts are the same as the worker, but it has wings, and the queen, that is the female,

14
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:16,400
is the same and with wings.

15
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,840
do you live and how they organize. Ants are social insects. They live in colonies.

16
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:35,759
That can grow to as many few million members. Ants work together to gather food and care for the

17
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:50,759
and their behavior is surprisingly coordinated and methodological for at-signaling singlet insects.

18
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:56,759
An individual ant's behavior depends on the caster.

19
00:02:56,759 --> 00:03:04,759
In a colony, this division is marked by the same casters .

20
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:13,960
and males. Queens are primarily responsible for reproduction, while workers maintain the needs for

21
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:23,159
food, care for the young, and defend the colony. Ants are insects whose social life is highly

22
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:32,759
organized, but are built only to that of honeybees and all their mates.

23
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:43,159
Ants are considered a social insect because they live in organized colonies and form complex

24
00:03:43,159 --> 00:04:00,159
Ants usually boil their nests under warm sun, ants boil their nests behind rocks or decaying wood in homes, ants may decide to nest in ants.

25
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,159
Leaves, bees and termites live in colonies with cast societies.

26
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:11,159
Who do they feed on?

27
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:19,639
on ants need to eat regularly to stay healthy and reproduce ants are omnivores they can be

28
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:28,519
fit with a variety of food for example pieces of bread sugar small pieces of fruit nectar seed

29
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:36,199
mushrooms or insects the ants are divided into the queen and the workers queen ants

30
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,560
feed on food with a lot of proteins and workers feed on food with less protein.

31
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:51,000
How they reproduce? They reproduce sexual and asexual depending on the ant they want to create.

32
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,439
For example, if they want to create a worker ant they reproduce sexually and if they want to create

33
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:34,939
With another queen, they reproduce asexually.

34
00:05:34,939 --> 00:05:42,420
In some species, the queens use alternative models of reproduction from the production

35
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:50,180
of reproductive queens and non-reproductive workers .

36
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:58,980
New queens are produced asexually by detox parthenogenesis while workers are produced

37
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:04,990
by normal sexual reproduction.

38
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:13,029
Ants reproduce through a process initiated by the nuptial flight, where virgin

39
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:16,269
queen ants mate with males in the egg.

40
00:06:16,269 --> 00:06:27,870
After mating, the queen stores the sperm and specializes it in pounds and uses it to fertilize eggs throughout her lifetime.

41
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:30,610
Interesting facts of them.

42
00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:33,629
Ants are as old as dinosaurs.

43
00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:36,189
Ants are ecologically important.

44
00:06:36,189 --> 00:06:38,329
Ants can become zombies.

45
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:40,509
Ants are strong.

46
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:42,930
Male ants have wings.

47
00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:53,449
ants do not have ears, ants can be waterproof, ants have two stomachs
