The
nests of some species of ants are made up of chambers and galleries.
Some
Ant hills can be around 2.5 m high!!
Ants
often excavate their nests under stones or logs or underground.
Some
species of ants construct nests in vegetable matter, mounds of
earth or in decaying trees.
As
soon as they are out of the pupae stage the young worker ants
start to do the work of the new nest.
They
dig more tunnels, find food and care for the new larvae.
The
queen continues to lay eggs and the size of the nest grows rapidly.
