  2. Queen ant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_ant

    A queen ant (formally known as a gyne) is an adult, reproducing female ant in an ant colony; she is usually the mother of all the other ants in that colony. Some female ants, such as the Cataglyphis , do not need to mate to produce offspring, reproducing through asexual parthenogenesis or cloning , and all of those offspring will be female. [ 1 ]

  3. Army ant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_ant

    Due to the queen's large reproductive potential, a colony of army ants can be descended from a single queen. [10] When the queen ant dies, there is no replacement and army ants cannot rear emergency queens. Most of the time, if the queen dies, the colony will likely die too. Queen loss can occur due to accidents during emigrations, predator ...

  4. Ant colony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony

    Ant colonies have a complex social structure. Ants’ jobs are determined and can be changed by age. As ants grow older their jobs move them farther from the queen, or center of the colony. Younger ants work within the nest protecting the queen and young. Sometimes, a queen is not present and is replaced by egg-laying workers.

  5. Nuptial flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_flight

    Not all ants follow the basic pattern described above. In army ants only males are alates, having wings. They fly out from their parent colony in search of other colonies where wingless virgin queens wait for them. A colony with an old queen and one or more mated young queens then divides, each successful queen taking a share of the workers.

  7. Longhorn crazy ant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhorn_crazy_ant

    Although the queen produces workers through normal sexual means, her daughter queens are her genetic clones and her sons are the genetic clones of her mate. The male and female gene pools thus remain completely separate (assuming workers never reproduce), and this has allowed the longhorn crazy ant to become one of the most widespread invasive ...

  9. Tetramorium immigrans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetramorium_immigrans

    The pavement ant is dark brown to blackish, and 2.5–4 millimeters (0.10–0.16 in) long. A colony is composed of workers, alates, and a queen. Workers do have a small stinger, which can cause mild discomfort in humans but is essentially harmless. Alates, or new queen ants and drones, have wings, and are at least twice as large as the workers ...
