Why ants follow other ants in a line? 

 Some of us have a doubt about the ants that why ants are always moves in a line. It is the biggest doubt in our childhood age. 

In this post you will see why Ants are moving always in a line and what's the real scientific reason for this action.So please read the post Fully to find the answer. 

Why Ants moves in a Line?

• The reason for why ants march in line is because of scented chemicals called pheromones. It's like our human body hormones it produced in their body naturally.

• Ants release a chemical called pheromones to communicate with other ants. 

• Ants produce pheromones to warn other ants of a nearby predator, ants to defend the colony, or to share the location of a food source. 

So what does this have to do with an ant's tendency to follow the leader?

If a worker ant finds food or some other useful resource, it will leave pheromone trails when it returns to the colony. 

This allows other workers to leave the colony and use the path to find the resource. Ants follow the trail, they release additional pheromones. This makes the trail even more recognisable.

Worker ants follow this trail until the food source is completely consumed or no longer available.

How these ants find food? 

Ants having a antenna on their head. These have a strong sense of smell and rely on sensitive olfactory receptors on their antennae to locate food.

 The job of the worker ant is to find food for the colony's queens, males, and young. Worker ants use their scent receptors to search for food and leave a pheromone trail when they find a food source.

It is not uncommon for a worker ant to venture as far as 100 meters from the colony to find food. 

Different types of ants chose different types of food

• For example, Argentine ants prefer sweet foods such as aphid molasses, honey, syrup and sugar. 

• Meanwhile, fire ants are omnivores, feeding on other insects, meat, and sweets.When outdoor food sources are scarce, ants look for food indoors. 

Because of this, it is common to find ants in your kitchen or bathroom.
