All ant species live in colonies established by fertile females, or queens. Winged female ants and winged males typically swarm after a day of heavy rain in a particular season. Queens begin as winged ants and usually shed their wings after mating. Reproductive males die soon afterwards.<br /> | All ant species live in colonies established by fertile females, or queens.
