Ants live in large group called colonies. Each colony consists of three
types of ants. They are the queen, the workers and the males. The queen
and the males have wings, while the workers do not. Usually, a colony
consists of only one queen ant. The queen is the only ant that can lay eggs.
The queen is also the largest ant in the colony. The workers have different
duties to perform in the colony. Some take care of the eggs. Some take care
of newly hatched ants called larvae. Some gather food and keep their home
clean.
