How To Identify Ants
Ants exhibit a wide range of appearances, but they typically share some common features. Most ants are small insects, usually measuring between 1/16 to 1/2 inch in length, with a segmented body divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. They possess a pair of bent antennae on their head, which they use for sensory perception, communication, and navigation. Ants have a pair of mandibles near their mouth, which vary in size and shape depending on the ant species and are used for tasks such as carrying food, excavating, and defense. Their six legs are jointed and adapted for running, digging, and gripping surfaces. Ants come in a spectrum of colors, including shades of brown, black, red, and yellow, with some species displaying unique markings or patterns.
