Females do all the work

A family of ants employs queens, gardeners and bandits that have developed specialised tools and skills to get their respective jobs done.  Each species is divided into some specific labours that depend on an age and sex. Ants looking after the brood and working inside the nest tend to be younger, while those defending the nest and foraging outside are older.

Misrepresentation: Ants vs Termites

1. While both species have four wings, termite wings are uniform in size. Winged ants have noticeably larger wings in the front than the pair in the back.

2. Termites antennae are almost straight where the ant's antennae is elbowed.

3. Termite wings are twice as long as their body. Ant wings are shorter and more proportionate to their bodies.

4. Ants appear distinctly segmented, because of their thin waist. Termites have a broad waist and are mostly a uniform width along their entire body.
