Passage:

The Amazing Ants

Ants are fascinating insects that live in colonies. They are found all around the world and come in different sizes and colors. Ants are known for their hard work and teamwork.

Ants live in underground tunnels called ant hills or anthills. These tunnels are their homes where they build rooms for different purposes like storing food, raising their young, and even keeping other insects as their "pets." Ants communicate with each other using chemicals called pheromones. They leave trails of pheromones to guide other ants to food sources.

Ants have a queen who lays eggs. The queen is the mother of all the ants in the colony. Worker ants are the ones you usually see outside the ant hill, searching for food. They are responsible for gathering food, building and repairing the tunnels, and taking care of the eggs and the young ants.
