An ant is a very common insect. It can be found everywhere in the world both in towns and villages. It is a very small insect. Its body has three parts—head, thorax and abdomen. There are six legs in the middle part of the body. Ants are of various colours and sizes.
Like bees, ants also live in groups and colonies. Hence, they are called social insects. There are two classes of ants in a group. One class of ants is called the soldier ants that protect the group. The worker ants form the other class. They collect and store food for all ants. Ants feed on different kinds of sweet foods.
Ants are known to be very busy and hard working creatures. They never idle away their time. They go on working all the time collecting food and making their living place. They also have foresight as they store food for the future.
