The social structure of ants cannot fail to surprise: not only are there females, males, individuals who work among them, there are also species that contain slaves in their nest, such as larvae, which were taken prisoner from another anthill.

Given the class, there is a division of labor, and everyone must perform their duties at the proper level (if they cannot fulfill their duties, the queen is eliminated, the worker is killed).
Despite the fact that absolutely all ant species are predators, they not only capture or collect prey, but also breed mushrooms, they are the only creatures in the world, with the exception of humans, engaged in agricultural activities.

Black, red ants belong to the insect family, which belongs to the superfamily of ants of the order Hymenoptera, which also includes wasps, bees, horsemen, sawflies and walnut producers.
In total, there are more than 13,000 species of ants, most of which live in tropical latitudes. According to various sources, the size of this family is 10 to 25% of the biomass of all land creatures.
Its weight is extremely small. For example, 800 million ants per square kilometer can be found in Amazonian forests, while in total all forest ants weigh half as much as the rest of the area's inhabitants.
Black and red ants are spread all over the world. It is worth noting that not only forest and garden ants, but also ants in the house are a common phenomenon. They are not there, except in cold Antarctica and on several islands located far from the mainland.

Insects carry the anthill everywhere they can, mainly using soil and plants for construction. Their nests can be seen everywhere: on the ground, under rocks, on logs, underground, if they settle in the house, they can also build an anthill there.
In areas with dead insects, an anthill is never built, as this indicates the presence of disease or other hazards. Such good adaptability is largely determined by excellent social organization, the ability to use various resources and maneuverability in their life activities: if necessary, they will change their place of residence without any problem.
