Amazing Ants Part 2


Watch this video for an important message. 






Here are some facts that I learned from my research:

  • They have wings when they are born and they fall off when they get older.
  • The ants in my video are Texas Carpenter Ants.
  • They do not have piles, instead they have tunnels underground.
  •  I do think they like salt cause they loved the salty pretzels
  • They are one of the biggest ants in the world
  • They most of the time build nest in wood but not always
  • 14 species of the ants destroy wood and trees
  • They have a circle of hair on their belly
I discovered that the ants with wings are not queens, they are baby ants. When we looked at the ants a week later their wings were not on them. 



Here is a video of the second ant tunnel. My mom asked me some questions during this video! 




Here is the third ant tunnel when I figured out that the ants are hatched with wings! 




My next post will be about a surprise food we feed the ants!
