What Do Ants Look Like?

Ants are small insects. The smallest ants are 0.03 inch (0.7 millimeter) long. They are hard to see! The biggest ants are almost 1 inch ( 3 centimeters) long.

An ant’s body looks like it has very thin waist. The narrow waist lets the ant bend when it goes around turns in underground tunnels.

An ant has a mouth with three parts. The most important mouthparts are its jaws. Ants can move them from side to side. They use their jaws for digging, carrying things, collecting food, building nests. Fighting, and cutting. Ants use their lower jaws for chewing. They use their tongues to suck up liquids.

Small ideas have a common quality or are similar in some ways thus, they belong to one idea. In organizing ideas, all small ideas which belong to the main idea should be grouped together.
