There are thousands of species of ant and they are located on every continent on the planet with the exception of very cold places such as Antarctica.Ants colonies work together in a kind of hive mindset. If this sounds familiar to some species of wasp, that’s because ants are related to wasps and likely shared a common ancestor millions of years ago. In general, an ant colony works together to provide for the colony as a whole. Each ant has a very specific role, thus making the colony almost like one living organism with the individual ants like cells within a human body, tasked with performing percise actions.
