The ant is a small insect. It has a head, two stings and six feet. Its body is divided into three parts. There are various kinds of ants. Some are small and some are big. The ant is of many colors- red, black, tallow and white. Some ants have wings.
The ant lives on worms. When it finds a dead worm, it informs other ants and all the ants carry it to their home. Ants are very fond of sweet things such as sugar, honey and sweetmeats. The ant has such a keen sense of smell that it smells its food from a distance.
The ant lives in houses, cornfields and farm yard. It makes a hole and lives in it. It makes a mound round its hole.
Ants live in a swarm and work together. They are always active some ants make their nests, some go n search of food and some do nothing. Ants are very industrious. ‘As active as an ant’ is a common English saying. There is co-operation among ants. Ants teach us unity and sacrifice. They keep our houses clean by eating dead worms and insects.
Ants are very dangerous also. When they bite, a burning sensation is produced. White ants eat away our books and furniture. Scientists say that ants cause some diseases also.
There are three types of ant. They are: the queen ant, the working ant and the idle ant. The queen ant lays eggs. The queen ant goes out for search of food. And the idle ant doesn’t do anything.
The ants are of good use to us. Just like the crow they keep our house clean. Every dead insect or worm, any dirty matter is removed by them. They save us from bugs. Bugs do not live wherever the ants live. It is true that ants bite man very badly. But they seldom cause any serious harm to us. Above all ants teach us how to work patiently and laboriously.
