Over millions of years, the ant has learned how to create an environment conducive to survival. By constructing complex hill structures and a wide network of tunnels, ants provide nesting space, regulate temperature and co-ordinate food storage. This process is called ‘territoriality’ by biologists and it is an integral part of the life cycle of ants, particularly the common black garden ant. Have you ever wondered what it is ants do? I mean, when they’re not using your car as a toilet (gross, right?). Are they just sitting there doing nothing but eating leaves and annoying people like me? Turns out, no. Ants are actually really busy working away while we’re all just sitting around trying to live our lives. Aside from their sheer awesomeness, the most striking thing about ants is the impressively massive ant hills they build. I mean, look at this thing! That’s got to be millions of ants and a ton of work. Why bother with such an enormous project? What motivates them to build such impressive structures? Are there any negative consequences to building them? What are those giant ants at the top eating?
How Do Ants Build Ant Hills
Ant Hills are the result of a complex, organized process that ants use to build their homes.
Ants are very industrious and methodical, so they need to have a system in place to ensure that every aspect of their home building process is efficient and effective. They have a precise schedule for all their tasks, including gathering materials, digging tunnels, collecting food for themselves and for the queen, and laying eggs. Ants also have specific roles within their colonies that help them complete these jobs more efficiently.
The first step in building an ant hill is finding a suitable location. Ants prefer to build their nests in open areas where there’s plenty of sunlight and fresh air. This helps keep them cool during hot days and warm during cold nights. However, ants also need protection from predators like birds or other insects who might try to steal their food stores or kill them outright! So it’s important that they choose somewhere safe but still convenient enough for them to reach easily with minimal effort on their part (i.e., not too far away from where they find most of their food sources).
Once they’ve found the perfect spot, ants start by digging tunnels underneath ground level so they can safely store their valuables while still keeping them close enough Ants are amazing creatures. They’re industrious, hard-working, and they always know what to do—and how to get it done.
