"An Army of One!
An Army ant colony can consist of more than 1 million members. Moving together, they are like their own life form.
Army ants will eat almost anything in their path. In a single day, they can eat as many as 50,000 insects.",
"The Great Migration.
An Army ant colony is constantly on the move.
Army ants must constantly migrate to ensure a plentiful supply of food, otherwise they would starve.
There are about 150 different species of Army ants that migrate throughout North, Central and South America.",
"Killer Ants.
Army ants regularly kill lizards, snakes, scorpions and various insects. If they can catch chickens, pigs and goats they'll kill these as well.
Army ants are so relentless, they'll march up trees to attack birds and arboreal insects. Farmers have even reported losing small herds of penned cattle to swarms of Army ants.",
"Traveling Companions.
Army ant colonies are not made up entirely of ants.
As many as 100 different species of insects often travel with Army ant colonies.",
"Not-so-friendly Neighbors.
Army ants are found mostly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Central and South America.
But few realize there are plenty of Army ants in North America.
Generally, Army ants come out only at night, and tend to live underground so its possible for an entire colony to live in a place and not be noticed.",
"Red Swarm!
Army ants are swarm raiders.
When they attack prey, a thick wave of Army ants assault the animal first. Behind them is a much thinner line that leads back to their camp.
The first wave kills the prey and chops it into little pieces. These pieces are then passed back over the thin stream and placed in Army ant camp.",
"Ant-speak.
Army ants communicate with one another mainly through chemical signals.
They release pheromones into the air, which can let other ants know about food, or warn them, or even say hello to a nest mate.
Worker ants also use chemicals to mark foraging trails by wiping their abdomens on the ground as they walk.
Ants can also communicate by vibration and touch.",
"Nightwatch!
Army ants get their name because of certain similarities they have with real armies.
Their colonies are organized like military compounds.
When they raid other ant colonies, they'll take prisoners.
And, like a regular Army, they tend to march at night and rest during the day.",
"Blind leading the Blind.
Army ants have a single eye instead of compound eyes. But this eye doesn't do them much good, since they are completely blind.
To get around they use their antennas, which works as a sort of compass and also helps them locate food.",
"Always on the move.
Army ants have two lifestyles: nomadic and stationary.
During the nomadic phase, they travel in groups measuring up to 65 feet wide, exploring the terrain in search of new hunting grounds.
The stationary phase lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. During this period, they live in a bivouac (or camp). Every day, they'll emerge at dawn and set out on a hunt. Each day, they set out in a new direction and systematically forage for food. ",
"King & Queen of the Ants.
Army ants live in very hierarchical societies.
Colonies include the queen, her eggs, soldiers and workers. The queen is at the top of the hierarchy, with soldiers responsible for defense, and workers either searching for food or tending the queen's eggs, depending on their size.
The soldiers are male and the workers are all sterile females.",
"Protect ther Queen!
Army ants make temporary nests as they travel and, amazingly, use themselves as building materials.
They form walls by clamping onto one another with their mandibles and claws.
They then attach themselves to a log or some other hard surface to protect the queen and her eggs. ",
"Juice Maker.
Army ants can demobilize animals with their powerful sting.
Their stinger contains high counts of tissue-dissolving enzymes. Like spider venom, this can liquefy as well as immobilize prey.
This is helpful because Army ants can’t eat solid food; they survive on the liquid or body fluids of their prey. ",
"Ant food.
Army ants do not just settle for small insects, they also will attack much larger animals.
They are a powerful force, and capable of attacking much larger animals, including lizards, birds, pigs, and even horses.
Larger animals can usually escape the hungry ants, but if injured or asleep, there is a good chance that Army ants will attack and kill them.",
"Singleminded.
The queen Army ant can produce up to 250,000 eggs in 10 days.
Within the colony, the queen’s sole purpose is to lay eggs, which she does every day."];
