History
Ants are the second most populated insecet in the world. The first is beatles. Ants are related to wasps, bees and sawflies. The way scientists discovered about ants in the past is by the ants fosilized in amber. Millions of years ago some ants and insects can get trapped in tree sap. Over the years the sap drys and hardens making amber. Termites, or sometimes called white ants, eat wood.

Enemies
Their enemies are anteaters, humans, insects, and other animals. And that is just some of the dangers the poor ants face. Others like bug poison sprayed by exterminators are harmful too.

Life
Worker ants may sometimes get engaged in a battle with a rivial colony's queen. Thats like marring your worst nemises. The queen is always the first one to start the nest. As others join then begin to help. When there is a lot of diggers the queen rests and mates. The ant's head is made of many sensers that help through the process of killing their prey.

Communication
When ants communicate they mostly use their antennae but when scout ants go to seach for food they leave a special chemical substance that only ants can understand and smell to tell who it came from.

Defence skills
When a ant is being attacked they defend themselves by bitting with their strong gaws. Some kinds of ants sting their preditor by spraying them with a poisonous acid called formic acid.
