| | Ant |
 | | Ant communication is primarily through chemicals called pheromones, which, because most ants spend their time in direct contact with the ground, are more developed than in other Hymenopterans. |
 | | Colony members are distinguished by smell, and other intruders are usually attacked, with notable exceptions.\n* Some ants will raid the colonies of other ants, taking the pupae with them, which once hatched act as workers in the raider's colonies despite not being genetically related to the queen. |
 | | Myrmecophilous or ant-loving caterpillars (blues, coppers, or hairstreaks), which are herded by the ants, led to feeding areas in daytime and brought inside the ants nest at night. |
