Armies of Ants

Armies of Ants
By Michael

An ant can’t cause a big damage. But an army of ants can cause a big damage. Army ants live in USA and South America. They eat insects, grasshoppers, spiders and birds. They’re very dangerous. They don’t build nests. Soldier ants always stay outside to protect the ants. The queen ant is always laying eggs. The queen is the biggest ant in the colony. Ants have been around since before the days of dinosaurs. There are 9000 kinds of ants. They live in different places. The bulldog ants are the most dangerous ants. These ants hunt alone. They can run very fast. Almost faster than humans. The fire ants are another kind of poisonous ants. It can kill a cow and even humans. Ants are social insects. They live together. The queen lays eggs. They can live underground, on trees or on leaves. Some ants attack other ants’ nests. They can fight bravely. Honey ants store honey in their bodies. We should protect the ants because some are almost extinct.
