Ants use special signals to talk to each other, like a giant group chat. When one ant finds food, it leaves behind a smelly trail, and others follow the scent to find the food too! They also touch each other with their antennas to say hello or send messages.
Examples
- A line of ants walking in a straight line follows a scent trail from the first ant that found food.
- Two ants touch their antennas to say hello before sharing some sugar.
- An angry ant releases a smelly signal, and all nearby ants start running away.
