I have to admit that I was not sure about the subject. So glad I tried it, fascinating facts, “go you guys”, for putting this together, 👏👏

[@Apptato]

Glad you enjoyed it Tim! Thanks for playing :)

Ant ant colony isn’t a group of ants, it is THE colony founded by the queen not just workers. A swarm is only in some species where they gather A LOT of workers to forage for food in a fan like structure.

[@lasiusniger1094]

Also the drones are mostly called alate which do consist of new queens too

[@lasiusniger1094]

Also fun fact a lot of ants do farm aphids for honeydew, but did you know some also farm fungi. Including the species atta cephalotes if you search that or leafcutter ants, you should find some cool stuff.

[@lasiusniger1094]

Oof. Honeypot ants aren’t a worker caste they are a species

[@lasiusniger1094]

But yeah pretty factual and correct, nice.

You sure know your ant facts! You're right, an ant colony is what you describe. But it is also what some use to describe a group of ants (in addition to swarm, army, nest, etc.). To be honest, I wouldn't put too much stock into the group naming schemes, as they are mostly for fun. Thanks for playing!
