How To Spell Ants

Introduction

How do you spell “ants”?

Ants

Ants are insects of the family Formicidae, and are among the most common and diverse of all social insects. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago, and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. More than 12,000 out of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist. Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies which may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. Larvae transition through a series of moults as they grow before reaching maturity within 1–2 years.

Ants have colonised nearly every landmass on Earth.[1] The only places lacking indigenous ants are Antarctica and some remote or inhospitable islands.[2][3] Ants thrive in most ecosystems: they can be found in deserts[4] (especially arid ones),[5] rainforests,[6][7][8] alpine biomes,[9] tundra[10], coastal scrublands,[11] swamps[12], grasslands,[13][14][15][16][17], on every continent except Antarctica.[18]

ANTS!

Ants are insects that are found in many different habitats. They have three subfamilies: Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, and Formicinae. Ants have a very short lifespan, living for only about one year on average; their reproduction process is also very fast, with each queen laying several thousand eggs each day.

Ants are social insects that live in colonies of hundreds or even millions of workers. These colonies can be divided into specialized roles based on age or caste (soldier ants protect the colony while worker ants tend to young).
