Ant workers and their role in the colony
Ant workers are the most active caste in the colony. They vary in size depending on the species. They can reach a size of 2 to 15 mm. One of the most significant jobs the ant workers do is carry food to their colony. They have powerful mandibles that they use to carry the food. Some worker ants even have strong mandibles that are capable of cutting leaves or defending the nest from predators. They also have a hard exoskeleton that enables them to survive in harsh conditions. In an ant colony, the role is divided based on the age of the worker ants. The younger ones often take care of the queen and brood, while the older ones forage for food and defend the nest.
They use pheromones to communicate with each other. They leave behind pheromone tracks that lead other ants to the food sources. Ant workers also take part in colony expansion by digging and excavating to house the increasing number of ants. Unlike the queen worker, ants are not reproductive. Their primary role is to support the colony through their labor. Worker ants usually live for a few weeks to several months depending on their species.
