Do you know how ants communicate? 🐜

Sleep Tight Media / Starglow Media
About this episode

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of ants and learn about their impressive communication skills and unique behaviours. We discover that ants communicate through pheromones, antenna touching, vibrations, alarm signals, and trail marking to share important information like finding food or warning of danger. We also learn some cool facts, like how ants can lift up to 50 times their weight, work together as farmers with other insects, and even live in colonies with millions of members. Ants may be tiny, but they are highly organized and communicate in amazing ways to keep their colonies thriving!

Sleep Tight!,
