周末天气太好玩了一上午喂了蚂蚁，索性今天就聊蚂蚁了

晚上干女儿来住一夜，俩娃放飞一晚上嗨翻天了

周末出去喂蚂蚁，看看蚂蚁喜欢吃啥

What do ants like to eat?

Honey, let’s go to the patio to feed ants.

Ok.

But what do ants like to eat? Do you have any ideas?

Candy, Sugar.

Ok, let’s take sugar and some Chocolate. Well, I guess ants like to eat apple and bread. I’ll take an apple and small crumbs of bread.

Place the food on the plate and wait. A large amount of ants come to eat the apple and the sugar. Few ants come to eat the peanut and the bread. Why?

Sweet.

Most ants like to eat sweet things. Just like you. These ants prefer sweet food.So I think they're thief ants.Thief ants eat sweets and other food they find in people's houses and lying out.

Don’t touch the ants by your finger, some ants can sting or bite people.

Don’t step on them or crush them

　　1. First you need some ants.You may have to wait until the summer to find them on paths around your home.

2. When you have found an ant, put a thin slice of fruit in front of it. It may eat some of it or carry bits away.

3. Check the fruit after an hour. Have other ants been attracted to it? If so, what

are they doing?

4. When there are lots of ants, move the fruit to a new position, a little to the side. What do the ants do?

What's going on?

You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too. They follow each other by making long trails. The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest. When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But,instead of making new direct route to the food, they will follow each other via their old trail route.

All about ants

look at that. what's that?

A big ant

Yes, it's a big ant. we can see three parts of the ant. this is head, thorax ，abdomen and the antenna, compound eye, jaw, and how many legs does it have?

An ant has six legs. it's an insect.Now you are an ant. and I am an ant, too . We are the harvest ants.Ants use their antennas to help them find food. They touch and smell with their antennas.We can use our antennae to transmit information. and I'll know what you mean, what you say when our antennae touch each other. 

come on, use your antennae to touch my antennae. What. You don't want to touch my antenna because you need to clean your antennas. we can comb on our legs for cleaning antennas. Ants talk to each other by touching antennas.

What do ants eat?

Ants eat fruit. meat. seeds and vegetables depending on the type of ant．

1.  Carpenter（木蚁） ants eat fruits and red fire ants（红火蚁） are meat eaters. Different ants eat different foods and ants are omnivorous, so they eat many different things. Carpenter ants Especially like sweet juices we get from insects and from plants too.
2. Leaf-cutting ants make underground gardens with leaves they cut, they grow mushrooms in the gardens for food.
3.  Army ants travel in large groups like armies.they devour吞食 huge numbers of insects, including termites. 
4.  Formica ants mostly eat juices that they suck from insects they kill. 
5. Cornfield ants like to eat the sweet juices or honeydew they get from aphids. Aphids suck the juices from plants, then the ants milk aphids for honeydew.

If one ant finds food, others follow. Soon there will be a lot of ants carrying away lunch. If one ant can't carry anything, others may help. But each worker ant is strong. An ant can lift as much as 50 times its own weight. If people could lift like that, we could each lift a car. The workers carry the food back to the ant city .Ants share the food they find.
