    Red Ant

    What is the red ant?


    Red ants or fire ants are a genus of stinging
    ants, with more than two hundred and eighty
    species in the world. Not all are colored. In
    addition, there are some unrelated ants that
    also bear this common name.

    phenomenon that involves successfully
    finding, selecting, and fertilizing females to
    ensure that the eggs laid can survive and
    moult through the successive stages of the
    ant's life cycle: larvae, pupae, and adults.
    Interaction
    Scientists have known for decades that
    ants use a variety of tiny chemicals known
    as pheromones to communicate. Perhaps
    the most classic example is the
    pheromone trail that insects leave when
    walking. Those behind them follow this
    trail, which leads to long lines of ants
    marching one by one.

    other small Hemiptera, insects and small
    invertebrates, alive or dead, as well as the sap
    of plants and various fruits. They also eat insect
    eggs. When they enter our homes, ants add a
