Ant |
A considerable lot of us see ants around, particularly in the late spring, maybe while we are sitting in the nursery close to one of the goliath trees and we see a long queue of coordinated insects that stroll at a consistent speed and couldn't care less about what's going on around them as far as human chat and talk.
Head:
According to many researches: the head of the ant has two large compound eyes in its head, and most likely it also has three simple eyes that contain many small lenses that enable the ant to distinguish between shadow and light, and the head also contains two antennae that the ant uses to detect enemies.
Also the ant can by unscrewing it upper jaw discovered different smells, and she has a strong lower jaw that she uses for biting, cutting, grasping and carrying food, and when the ant finds food, it secretes pheromones, which are pathways for the scent that the rest of the ants can distinguish and follow to reach the food.
Chest:
At the end of each leg, there is a claw that helps the ant to climb and cling to things, and the ant can walk very quickly compared to its size.
Ant belly:
The abdomen contains a poison bag, which the ant uses to sting when defending itself against enemies, and the abdomen contains two stomachs, the first is intended for food that the ant consumes, and the second is for preserving food and transporting it to the ant colony, and the heart in the ant is in the form of a long tube that pumps blood from the head to the abdomen and then back to the head again, and the nerve cord in the ant is similar to the spinal cord in humans.
As it extends from the head to the abdomen and branches from it spread throughout the body, and it is worth noting that the ant does not have lungs, it breathes through small holes located all over its body.
The life cycle of the ant:
the ant has an individual life cycle like all other living things, which are social beings; They live in family groups that cooperate with each other to collect food, build a colony, and take care of new offspring, and the number of ants present in a single colony ranges from several individuals to millions, and the reason for the success of the main ants is due to the social lifestyle they live.
