		Ants are pests around the home because they feed on and contaminate human foods, infest structures, and build unsightly mounds in lawns.
		Ants can be recognized from other insects because they have a narrow waist (pedicel) with one or two joints (nodes) between the thorax and abdomen.
		The function of the worker is to construct, repair, and defend the nest; and feed the immature and adult ants of the colony, including the queen, and are for the brood.

		Ants are able to distinguish one another from members of other colonies through a unique and complex odor, a mixture of chemicals derived from the nest material, objects in the immediate vicinity and the food they consume.
		Generally ants have poor eyesight but are compensated with an acute sense of smell and sensitivity to ground-borne vibration.
		The cocktail ant’s sting is spatulate and while they don’t sting with it, they use it to wipe the poisonous fluid onto the object in a lateral twisting of the abdomen, accompanied by frenzied biting.

		The narrow headed ant and the red robber ant are found at the edges of the native pinewoods.
		Wood ants will only be found in conifer woods where there is enough light and food, they can also be found in open plantations where there is enough sun to warm the nest as well as enough food.
		The red robber ant will steal brown ant pupae from their nests and when they hatch they will use the brown ants to rear their larvae, using the brown ants as slaves.

		The odorous house ant is closely related to the ghost ant but is easily distinguished by size and coloration Ghost ants are considerably smaller and have a dark head and thorax and pale, almost translucent, abdomen and legs.
		Ant baits are not considered effective for white footed ant infestations due to their varied feeding habits and the fact that worker ants do not exchange food directly with queens, larvae, and intercastes, but instead use trophic eggs.
		This ant is nicknamed a "thief' because it commonly lives near the nests of other ants and "steals" their larvae and food to feed its own colony.

		The minor workers (1/16 inch) do not have enlarged heads but can be recognized by the shape of their heads, which narrow abruptly behind the eyes.
		They superficially resemble fire ants but can be distinguished from them by the presence of 12 segments in the antenna, with a 3-segmented antennal club.
		When inspecting for big-headed ants outdoors, grass and other vegetation should be pulled or raked away from the foundation of the structure, along driveways, landscaping, sidewalks and fences.

		Where it does occur, the ant nest is readily visible as a large cleared area with a number of slow moving individuals on the surface near the nest.
		The huge headed soldiers (major workers) are not abundant in the colonies and seem to be no more aggressive or pugnacious than the intermediate and smaller workers (Wheeler 1910).
		The Florida harvester ant is not of economic importance to growers and homeowners, is not aggressive and almost has to be forced to sting someone.

		They also believe that the even more rare narrow-headed ant and blood red slave maker ant have nests elsewhere on the site, and their populations will be seriously harmed by the development.
		The narrow-headed ant was first discovered in Britain just over 100 years ago, and can only be found in large numbers in two areas – the Caledonian pine forests of Strathspey and the lowland heaths of South Devon.
		Ant expert Dr Gus Jones is convener of BSCG, who have been opposing the development, which will result in Carrbridge growing by one-third in size.

	Pest Ants in Hawaii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ants have a devastating impact on the native fauna and flora.
		In the absence of ants, Hawaii's endemic fauna never evolved adaptations such as mimicry, or distasteful or appeasement secretions to thwart predation by ants, as is commonly observed with invertebrates from areas where ants are endemic.
		If your ant specimen doesn't seem to fit the photo or caption and there are no other options, then you may have one of the few ant species that are rarely found in undeveloped habitats or you may have found a species new to Hawaii.

	Apologetics Press - Antsy Ant Antics
		When food becomes scarce, the ants in the colony go the honeypots and stroke them with their antennae, which causes them to regurgitate the honeydew so that the queen, workers, and males can eat it in order to stay alive and carry out their functions within the nest.
		The ants protect the plant by attacking anything that might be hazardous to the plants—from small insects to large herbivores that attempt to eat the plant.
		The jaws of other species of ant soldiers are so adapted for fighting that the ants are unable to pass food to their own mouths, depending instead on the services of smaller laboring ants for nourishment.

		Enthusiastically social insects, ants typically live in structured nest communities that may be located underground, in ground-level mounds, or in trees.
		Ant communities are headed by a queen or queens, whose function in life is to lay thousands of eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony.
		Workers (the ants typically seen by humans) are wingless females that never reproduce, but instead forage for food, care for the queen's offspring, work on the nest, protect the community, and perform many other duties.

		The Scottish Wood Ant (Formica aquilonia) is the most widespread of the four species, and is found patchily in forests throughout the Highlands, north to Sutherland and south to Arran.
		This ant was removed from the UKBAP priority list at the review in June 2007, but is still important as the host for the Shining Guest Ant.
		The Narrow-headed Ant (Formica exsecta) is a rare species with its stronghold in the open parts of the Scots pine dominated forests of Abernethy, Glenmore and Rothiemurchus.

		In the case of the silver ant, the two critical factors are predation by a reptile and exceedingly high temperatures.
		The ants are so small that exposure to the desert sun for the full eight or ten minutes would cause them to exceed their upper lethal temperature of about 128.3°F. But the ants play it very close to the line -- they forage until their body temperature does reach the upper lethal temperature.
		The ants, however, can forage for only a few more minutes before the surface temperature reaches THEIR critical thermal maximum, which is the "highest critical thermal maximum value recorded so far for any terrestrial animal" (Wehner et al., 1992).

		The Argentine ant is most often confused with the odorous house ant, but the node on the abdomen of the Argentine ant has a sharp, pointed peak, while that of the odorous house ant is flat in shape and is hidden.
		The ghost ant is related to the odorous house ant and resembles it except for the size and color.
		White-footed ants are particularly fond of sweets and, like many ants, will tend and protect aphids, mealy bugs, and scales that produce "honeydew." A unique observation is that no oral exchange of food seems to occur among adults of this species.

		Ant colonies are eusocial, and are very much like those found in other such Hymenopterans, though the various groups of these probably developed sociality independently through convergent evolution.
		Ants reportedly can be persuaded not to protect aphids by smearing a small amount of jam on the stem.
		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.

		In 1518, a spectacular plague of ants devastated some of the earliest Spanish settlements in the New World on the island of Hispaniola.
		Among the most telling clues were the ants' stinging bite and their habit of living among plant roots.

	Ant Movies
		Ants are mostly wingless, which varies between individuals in a colony rather than between species.
		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.
