A single large family lives in the anthills. The queen is like the mother in the colony. The queens job is to lay eggs. Almost all her children are female. Eggs and larvae fill the nursery. Ants are always busy. They work until danger is near.[ the lizard is the most common enemy to the ants. The guard stretches its antennae to search for danger. The ant spreads a strong smell to warn of threat. Then guards immediately attack. When ants meat the smell each other and touch antennae. if they are not from the same nest they fight. If many ants work together they can kill a grasshopper!
