ANTS While there is much obsession with finding life in outer space, there are about one million different kinds of denizens of the animal world that breathe without lungs or gills, yet all have the same three body sections, six legs and antennae. I'm sure that up close, their appearance will out do any special effect space alien. Ants are just one kind of these. Webster's Dictionary states that King Solomon was noted for his wisdom. Thousands of years ago, Solomon wrote: "Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise". A Typical Ant Nest Worker ant scouts returning to nest Worker ant digging Egg laying Queen Larvae The ant eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae latter grow to become full grown ants. The typical ant colony is usually centered around one or more egg-laying "queens". The smaller worker ants care for the queen and her eggs. The smaller male ants and the larger queen ants all have wings. The male's life-span is short. Only the queen begins a new colony. A typical queen ant will usually fly to a new location to start a new colony by herself. She will not need to fly any more, so she sheds her wings.

Retired Robots The Ants: A Community of Microrobots The Ants are a community of cubic-inch microrobots at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab . There are two main goals for this project. The first is to push the limits of microrobotics by integrating many sensors and actuators into a small package. The second is to form a structured robotic community from the interactions of many simple individuals. The inspiration behind this idea comes from nature the ant colony. In order to accomplish these goals, the robots have been equipped with sensors and actuators designed with their natural counterparts in mind. Each robot has 17 sensors including; four light sensors, four IR (infrared) receivers, bump sensors, food sensors, and a tilt sensor. They communicate with each other using two IR emitters, one mounted on the front of the robot and one mounted on the top. There are several levels of social behavior before reaching the goal of the ant colony. Right now, the robots can play Follow the Leader, Tag and Manhunt . Manhunt is similar to tag except there are two teams. The final game before the full-fledged Ant Farm is Capture the Flag. There are many application for robotic communities, including

6. All About Ants Learn all about ants, how they live and ant anatomy. http://www.infowest.com/life/aants.htm

All About Ants Ants have been living on the Earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet. It is estimated that there are about 20,000 different species of ants. For this reason ants have been called Earth's most successful species. Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain. Western Harvester ants make a small mound on top, but then tunnel up to 15 feet straight down to hibernate during winter. Ant mounds consist of many chambers connected by tunnels. Different chambers are used for nurseries, food storage, and resting places for the worker ants. Some ants live in wood like termites. Army ants don't make a home at all but travel in large groups searching for food. Sociology: Ants are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. There are three types of ants in each species, the queen, the sterile female workers, and males. The male ants only serve one purpose, to mate with future queen ants and do not live very long. The queen grows to adulthood, mates, and then spends the rest of her life laying eggs. A colony may have only one queen, or there may be many queens depending on the species. Ants go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Anatomy: Ants have three main parts. The head, the trunk(middle section), and the rear or metasoma. All six legs are attached to the trunk. The head consists of the jaws, eyes, and antennae. The eyes of ants are made up of many lenses enabling them to see movement very well. The antennae are special organs of smell, touch, taste, and hearing. The metasoma contains the stomach and rectum. Many species of ants have poison sacks and/or stingers in the end of the metasoma for defense against their many predators. To see a diagram and learn more about ant anatomy visit our

9. About ACO: Behavior Of Real Ants Behavior of real ants Real ants are capable of finding shortest path from a food source to the nest (Beckers, Deneubourg and Goss, 1992; Goss, Aron, Deneubourg http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mdorigo/ACO/RealAnts.html

Behavior of real ants It is well-known that the main means used by ants to form and maintain the line is a pheromone trail. Ants deposit a certain amount of pheromone while walking, and each ant probabilistically prefers to follow a direction rich in pheromone rather than a poorer one. This elementary behavior of real ants can be used to explain how they can find the shortest path which reconnects a broken line after the sudden appearance of an unexpected obstacle has interrupted the initial path (see next figure). In fact, once the obstacle has appeared, those ants which are just in front of the obstacle cannot continue to follow the pheromone trail and therefore they have to choose between turning right or left. In this situation we can expect half the ants to choose to turn right and the other half to turn left. The very same situation can be found on the other side of the obstacle (see next figure). It is interesting to note that those ants which choose, by chance, the shorter path around the obstacle will more rapidly reconstitute the interrupted pheromone trail compared to those which choose the longer path. Hence, the shorter path will receive a higher amount of pheromone in the time unit and this will in turn cause a higher number of ants to choose the shorter path. Due to this positive feedback (autocatalytic) process, very soon all the ants will choose the shorter path (see next figure). The most interesting aspect of this autocatalytic process is that finding the shortest path around the obstacle seems to be an emergent property of the interaction between the obstacle shape and ants distributed behavior: Although all ants move at approximately the same speed and deposit a pheromone trail at approximately the same rate, it is a fact that it takes longer to contour obstacles on their longer side than on their shorter side which makes the pheromone trail accumulate quicker on the shorter side. It is the ants preference for higher pheromone trail levels which makes this accumulation still quicker on the shorter path.

Surf in - load up - print out http://www.lingolex.com/jstefl.htm JOHN AND SARAH FREE MATERIALS (C) 1996 Instructions for teachers INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ANTS Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The legs of the ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. Ants use their antenae not only for touch, but also for their sense of smell. The head of the ant has a pair of large, strong jaws. The jaws open and shut sideways like a pair of scissors. Adult ants cannot chew and swallow solid food. Instead they swallow the juice which they squeeze from pieces of food. They throw away the dry part that is left over. The ant has two eyes, each eye is made of many smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes. The abdomen of the ant contains two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for itself and second stomach is for food to be shared with other ants. Like all insects, the outside of their body is covered with a hard armour this is called the exoskeleton. Ants have four distinct growing stages, the egg, larva, pupa and the adult. Biologists classify ants as a special group of wasps. (Hymenoptera Formicidae) There are over 10000 known species of ants. Each ant colony has at least one or more queens.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION RESULTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ... FORMICINAE ABSTRACT A total of 113 species of ants is recorded by county from the state of Michigan. The list is based upon literature records and specimens in the authors' collections and those of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology and the Michigan State University Department of Entomology. The list includes 3 species in Ponerinae, 44 in Myrmicinae, 6 in Dolichoderinae, and 60 in Formicinae. Ten species represent new state records. Five distribution patterns are evident: statewide (39 species), southern counties only (5), southern 3/4th of Lower Peninsula (10), Lower Peninsula (17), and Upper Peninsula (2). Forty species have been collected too infrequently to determine the distribution within the state. INTRODUCTION The earliest record of ants collected in Michigan is W. M.

University of Kentucky Entomology EntFacts Information Sheets CARPENTER ANTS by Mike Potter, Extension Entomologist University of Kentucky College of Agriculture "I keep seeing big, black ants in my house, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. I spray the ones I see, but they keep coming back. What kind of ants are these, where do they come from, and how do I get rid of them?" USDA Insect and Plant Disease Slide Set These are the questions typically asked by homeowners who have carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are one of the most common ants found in Kentucky. They are also one of the most difficult to control. This publication will help you determine if you have carpenter ants, and provide tips on how to control them. Biology and Habits Carpenter ants, vary in size and color but are usually large (1/4-1/2 inch) and blackish. Occasionally, swarms of winged carpenter ant reproductives will emerge inside a home. Carpenter ant swarms usually occur in the spring and are a sure sign that a colony is nesting somewhere inside the structure. University of Kentucky Entomology University of Kentucky Entomology Winged carpenter ants can be distinguished from termites by their larger size and shape of their antennae, waist and wings.

19. Fast Download Manager - NetAnts Free Have you watched a those shows on the Discovery Channel or the Learning Channel where they show a colony of ants digging tunnels or chopping up leaves? http://www.netants.com/

Home Download Awards FAQ ... Contact Us Introduction Following the first generation of download managers like GetRight, emerged the second generation of download managers with multithread functionality. Being compact, stable, easy to use and with a well-designed user interface, NetAnts have been regarded as the representative of second generation download managers. Have you watched a those shows on the Discovery Channel or the Learning Channel where they show a colony of ants digging tunnels or chopping up leaves? Each ant in the colony does one tiny little part of the entire job. By itself each ant's contribution seems minuscule but when you multiply that by thousands or millions of other ants the results can be enormous. That's essentially what NetAnts does. By having say 5 different connections all downloading a small piece of the overall file, the whole task is done in a much shorter period of time. If one connection happens to be slow or die out, no problem. There are 4 others still chugging away. With the ability to split files into chunks and download simultaneously, it dramatically speeds up your download time. NetAnts allows you to easily perform batch downloads from the Internet, either totally unattended, or while you're surfing with your favorite web browser. To select which files to download, you can manually add file names to the queue, activate a clipboard monitor that automatically grabs the file names that you've copied, or let NetAnts capture clicks from your browser. You can even create a "drop basket" on your desktop, and drag and drop files from your Web browser.

20. SIWeb: Ant Colony Cycle The larval phase is when the ants grow up, so they have to be constantly fed. The larval phase is when the ants grow, so they have to be constantly fed. http://research.amnh.org/entomology/social_insects/ants/ant_colony_cycle.html

The Ant Colony Cycle (a) An ant colony starts in general with a queen (alate reproductive female) that has just landed from the nuptial flight in which she has been inseminated by one or more males, has lost her wings and has found a protected place or has excavated a chamber. (b) In this protected place (the nest, that does not necessarily have to be constructed, but can be a natural chamber under a rock, for instance) the queen starts to lay eggs, from which after a certain period, emerge the larvae. The queen may search for food outside the nest or regurgitate her liquefied wing musculature (she will never fly again). In this initial period the queen is respondible for all colony tasks, not only feeding the larvae and herself, but also for the maintenance of the nest and for colony defense. The larval phase is when the ants grow up, so they have to be constantly fed. The queen may search for food outside the nest or regurgitate her liquefied musculature related to the wings, as she will never fly again. In this initial period the queen is responsible for all colony tasks, not only feeding the larvae and herself, but also the maintenance of the nest and colony defense. The larval phase is when the ants grow, so they have to be constantly fed. (c) After the eclosion of the first workers the queen does not perform most behaviors necessary to nest maintenance and colony development anylonger, and restricts herself only to egg laying and autogrooming, while the workers do all other tasks, including the feeding of the queen. The colony passes through a growing phase, not only in population but also in nest size and the area over which the workers forage for food.
