Activity 2.
(A) Listen and read.
Look at the picture. What are the ants doing ? They are talking. Do they talk ? Yes. How can they talk ? They touch their feelers or antennae and pass messages. Watch a row of ants. Each and touches other ants with feelers.
We always see ants, but we donāt pay inattention to them. Where do they live ? In comfortable homes nests or anthills ! Each anthill has many rooms and passages. Other rooms are nurseries for the young ones. Workers have their reserved quarters.
The workers search and fetch food into the anthill. Some rooms are storehouses for the food. Soldiers have separate barracks. Soldiers do not go out searching for food. Workers, soldiers or cleaners do not harm the young ones the grubs. They never fight with other members of the group. So the antsā life is very peaceful.
The queen ant lives for about fifteen years. It lays eggs. Eggs are hatched and grubs come out. Soldiers guard them. Workers feed and clean them. They also carry them for exercise and sunshine. Some other creatures live in the anthill.
They are beetles, smaller ants and greenflies, Why do ants keep these creatures in their? home For many reasons. Some for pleasant smell. Some are just pets and are playing like our cats and dogs. Others give sweet juice.
The greenfly is the antsā cow. The ants train it to give honeydew (like milk). They milk it just as we milk the cow.
