1. All About Ants Learn all about ants, how they live and ant anatomy. http://www.infowest.com/life/aants.htm

All About Ants Ants have been living on the Earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet. It is estimated that there are about 20,000 different species of ants. For this reason ants have been called Earth's most successful species. Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain. Western Harvester ants make a small mound on top, but then tunnel up to 15 feet straight down to hibernate during winter. Ant mounds consist of many chambers connected by tunnels. Different chambers are used for nurseries, food storage, and resting places for the worker ants. Some ants live in wood like termites. Army ants don't make a home at all but travel in large groups searching for food. Sociology: Ants are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. There are three types of ants in each species, the queen, the sterile female workers, and males. The male ants only serve one purpose, to mate with future queen ants and do not live very long. The queen grows to adulthood, mates, and then spends the rest of her life laying eggs. A colony may have only one queen, or there may be many queens depending on the species. Ants go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Anatomy: Ants have three main parts. The head, the trunk(middle section), and the rear or metasoma. All six legs are attached to the trunk. The head consists of the jaws, eyes, and antennae. The eyes of ants are made up of many lenses enabling them to see movement very well. The antennae are special organs of smell, touch, taste, and hearing. The metasoma contains the stomach and rectum. Many species of ants have poison sacks and/or stingers in the end of the metasoma for defense against their many predators. To see a diagram and learn more about ant anatomy visit our

University of Kentucky Entomology EntFacts Information Sheets CARPENTER ANTS by Mike Potter, Extension Entomologist University of Kentucky College of Agriculture "I keep seeing big, black ants in my house, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. I spray the ones I see, but they keep coming back. What kind of ants are these, where do they come from, and how do I get rid of them?" USDA Insect and Plant Disease Slide Set These are the questions typically asked by homeowners who have carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are one of the most common ants found in Kentucky. They are also one of the most difficult to control. This publication will help you determine if you have carpenter ants, and provide tips on how to control them. Biology and Habits Carpenter ants, vary in size and color but are usually large (1/4-1/2 inch) and blackish. Occasionally, swarms of winged carpenter ant reproductives will emerge inside a home. Carpenter ant swarms usually occur in the spring and are a sure sign that a colony is nesting somewhere inside the structure. University of Kentucky Entomology University of Kentucky Entomology Winged carpenter ants can be distinguished from termites by their larger size and shape of their antennae, waist and wings.

5. ANTS: Facts About Ants Ant facts Interesting facts about ants. ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. http://www.lingolex.com/ants.htm

Surf in - load up - print out http://www.lingolex.com/jstefl.htm JOHN AND SARAH FREE MATERIALS (C) 1996 Instructions for teachers INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ANTS Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The legs of the ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. Ants use their antenae not only for touch, but also for their sense of smell. The head of the ant has a pair of large, strong jaws. The jaws open and shut sideways like a pair of scissors. Adult ants cannot chew and swallow solid food. Instead they swallow the juice which they squeeze from pieces of food. They throw away the dry part that is left over. The ant has two eyes, each eye is made of many smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes. The abdomen of the ant contains two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for itself and second stomach is for food to be shared with other ants. Like all insects, the outside of their body is covered with a hard armour this is called the exoskeleton. Ants have four distinct growing stages, the egg, larva, pupa and the adult. Biologists classify ants as a special group of wasps. (Hymenoptera Formicidae) There are over 10000 known species of ants. Each ant colony has at least one or more queens.

6. Stranger Than Fiction Contains interesting facts about ant colonies and the job of each type of ant. http://home.att.net/~B-P.TRUSCIO/STRANGER.htm

ANTS While there is much obsession with finding life in outer space, there are about one million different kinds of denizens of the animal world that breathe without lungs or gills, yet all have the same three body sections, six legs and antennae. I'm sure that up close, their appearance will outdo any special effect space alien. Ants are just one kind of these. A Typical Ant Nest Worker ant scouts returning to nest Worker ant digging Egg laying Queen Larvae The ant eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae latter grow to become full grown ants. The typical ant colony is usually centered around one or more egg-laying "queens". The smaller worker ants care for the queen and her eggs. The smaller male ants and the larger queen ants all have wings. The male's life-span is short. Only the queen begins a new colony. A typical queen ant will usually fly to a new location to start a new colony by herself. She will not need to fly any more, so she sheds her wings. With their combined weight greater than the combined weight of all humans, ants are the most numerous type of animal.

Bring them home safe Ants As Pets The Ant (Hymenoptera in groups can make great pets. Many people consider the ant a pest before thinking of them as pets. Ants are a big part of ecology and anyone wanting to take the time to build an art farm soon realizes the socialization of these insects and the role they play. Some History The intelligence of the ant society-the tactics of the fighters and the husbandry of the farmers-is achieved through the social act of a sort of kiss called trophallaxis. During the kiss one or both of the ants gives the other a taste of the chemicals it has in its crop. The crop is a special community organ separate from the individual's digestive stomach. Its a kind of chemical language. The Chemicals stored in it are complex mixtures, modified by each kiss but originating mainly in secretions given off by the larvae and eggs in the colony. The composition of the mixture constitutes a chemical message which acts on the simple hereditary nervous system of an ant to communicate the needs and excitements of its society and tell the insect what it should be doing.

(NOTE: This document has been slightly modified for the WWW from its original appearance in Vol.26, No. 1 of the Great Lakes Entomologist , pp. 297-310, 1994.) ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION RESULTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ... FORMICINAE ABSTRACT A total of 113 species of ants is recorded by county from the state of Michigan. The list is based upon literature records and specimens in the authors' collections and those of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology and the Michigan State University Department of Entomology. The list includes 3 species in Ponerinae, 44 in Myrmicinae, 6 in Dolichoderinae, and 60 in Formicinae. Ten species represent new state records. Five distribution patterns are evident: statewide (39 species), southern counties only (5), southern 3/4th of Lower Peninsula (10), Lower Peninsula (17), and Upper Peninsula (2). Forty species have been collected too infrequently to determine the distribution within the state. INTRODUCTION The earliest record of ants collected in Michigan is W. M.
