Generally, ant nests are a family, with one or dozens of queen ants (female ants) in a nest.

Formicidae can grow normally within 15-40 ℃, the best temperature is between 25-30℃, the soil humidity is controlled between 10%-20%, and the relative humidity of the air is controlled between 70%-90%; in winter, it will enter the cave below 10℃, but it will not hibernate, but it will no longer be active frequently, but eat food stored in autumn.

3. Formicidae has complex feeding habits. The lower species are carnivorous, feeding on insects, small animals and even sick and dead large animals; the higher ones are carnivorous and herbivorous, feeding on animals and plants, feeding on seeds, fungi and other plant matter, especially the "honey dew" secreted by aphids and scale insects; other species are omnivorous, mostly feeding on seeds, fruits and insects.

Ants communicate with the smell of secretions. If an ant finds food, it will leave a smell on the way home, and other ants will follow this route to find food and constantly strengthen the smell; if an ant is crushed, it will emit a strong smell, immediately causing other ants to be alert and in an attack state.
