Ants can find their way through complex mazes.

Ants often march in distinct columns following chemical trails.

Some ants follow light patterns and gravity. They can do this because they have special sense organs in the joints of their legs.

Many ants only work in the underground passages of the nest. Some only work on the land. They do not change jobs!

Some ants keep aphids in their nests. The aphids make a liquid called honey-dew. The ants eat the honey-dew and in turn provide food for the aphids.

Some ants collect pieces of leaves and take them back to the nest. Fungi grow on the decaying leaves and the ants eat the fungi.
