Desert Honey Ants
by Jayson

As most of you know, ants have many different names because of where they live, what colour they are and what they collect.  The Honey Ant collects honey, so that makes the Honey Ant's name.

Ants of most species include workers, males and females work.  Workers of the formica japonica and weighing 0.004g can walk while holding an object weighing 5 times their body weight in their mouth and can even drag a 25 times heavier object!  Look at my diorama!
