[PDF] ant behavior in ant farm

The colony exhibits a division of labor where different individuals specialize on different jobs. Younger ants often work inside the nest, taking care of the queen and her brood. Older workers are more likely to go outside to gather food or defend the nest against enemies.

  • What are some ant behaviors?

    Ant Behavior
    These workers lay down pheromone trails, cultivate other insects for use as food sources, and swarm to create new nests. Ants may choose to feed on greasy foods, protein foods, or sweet foods. They invade homes to forage for these substances.

  • What is the behavior of an ant colony?

    The Queenless ants in the farm will continue on with their daily lives as if nothing has changed. They will continue to forage for food, remove the dead and trash to their trash pile. They won't realize there isn't an Queen and will continue on until they all die.

  • What do ants do in an ant farm?

    The majority of ants are general predators or scavengers, feeding on a wide range of prey including other arthropods and seeds. Adult ants feed exclusively on liquid foods. They collect these liquids from their prey or while tending Hemiptera and other insects.
