Do ants have hearing and smell?
The head, antennae, chest and tibiofibular joints of front feet of ants all contain auditory organs, which can feel sound vibration.

In addition to accurate taste, smell and hearing, tentacles have a better sense of touch. The tentacles are densely covered with short hair, and the roots of the hair are connected with very developed nerve endings.

Most of the activities of ants are produced by receiving chemicals, which are called pheromones. It is said that there are about fifty or sixty kinds.

Ants:

Ants are insects, arthropods, Insecta, Hymenoptera, Formicidae. There are many kinds of ants, including 1 1700 species in the world and 283 genera of 2 1 subfamily. More than 600 species have been identified in China. Recently, a new ant was discovered that reproduces asexually. Ants live a long life. Worker ants can live for several weeks to 3- 10 years, and queens can live for several years or even ten years. An ant nest can grow in 1 place for several years or even more than ten years.

Ants are definitely experts in architecture. There are many compartments in the nest, and these compartments have their own uses. Among them, the queen ant has the largest compartment. There is an ant in the desert, whose nest looks like a castle from a distance, 4.5 meters high. When those nests are abandoned, they will be used by some animals as their own nests. The bottom of the nest is for the queen. The queen's task is to eat, mate and have children. The ant nest is solid, safe and comfortable, and the roads extend in all directions. There is also a circle of soil outside the ant nest, and there are some places to store food. Ventilation is cool, warm in winter and cool in summer, and food is not easy to deteriorate.
