Queen Ants

• Queen ants are the largest ants in the colony. They have a dark, shiny body and large, well-developed wings.

Male Ants

• Male ants are typically smaller than queen ants. They have a slender body and long, thin wings.
• Male ants have only one purpose: to mate with the queen. They die shortly after mating.

Worker Ants

• Worker ants are the most common type of ant. They are small, wingless ants that do all the work of the colony. They build the nest, forage for food, and care for the queen and young.
• Worker ants can live for several months.

Soldier Ants

• Soldier ants are a specialized type of worker ant that is responsible for defending the nest. They have large, powerful jaws and a thick, armored exoskeleton.
