蚂蚁在哪里住？
There is no one answer to this question.
There are over1,000 species of antswithin North America alone, and their living space changes on the ants’ diet and their social structure.
Some of the most common places for ants to live include:
- 在地下殖民地的土丘中
- In the wood ofstructures and logs(carpenter ants)
- Underneath sidewalk pavement
- 在可以进入真菌和蜜露的大树中
It’s also not uncommon to find ants living in your home or other human buildings like restaurants.
This is because they are attracted to the丰富的食物资源, which include access to the sugars and proteins they need to sustain a large colony.

How long worker ants will live greatly depends on their available food sources.
如果食物来源变得稀缺，worker ants will sacrifice themselves对于其余的殖民地。如果没有食物来源，他们将少吃东西，以便其余的殖民地可以吃食物。

Does The Queen Ant Live Longer?
就像不同种类的蚂蚁寿命更长一样，不同种姓也是如此。
In almost every ant species,女王生活在所有人中最长的.
Some queens can live to be over 15 years old, while some have even been recorded as28!
Workers and soldiers also tend to be long-lived. In some colonies, these two groups can surviveup to 7 years通过忠诚的服务为社会服务。
最短的种姓是男性。如前所述，大多数蚂蚁实际上是无菌的女性。皇后对大多数物种进行所有繁殖，除了一些异常值thief ants.
Male ants live long enough to reproduce with a queen and then die. Each queen will produce a few males every so often so they can collect sperm to create the next batch of workers and soldiers.
这意味着雄性蚂蚁may only live for several weeks，一次交配，然后死亡。
Availability of Food Affects Lifespan of Ants
How long worker ants will live greatly depends on their available food sources.
The preferred diet of any one ant colony varies between sweet type foods (“sugar ants”) and protein rich foods (“grease ants”).
如果食物来源变得稀缺，worker ants will sacrifice themselves对于其余的殖民地。如果没有食物来源，他们将少吃东西，以便其余的殖民地可以吃食物。
这意味着消除蚂蚁食品来源可以限制周围的工人蚂蚁的数量，但这也意味着殖民地将继续运作一段时间，尤其是女王。
