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. |
 | | A crushed ant will emit an alarm pheromone that in high concentration sends other ants nearby into an attack frenzy, and in lower concentration attracts them, while a few ants use what are called propaganda pheromones to confuse their enemies. |
 | | 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. |
