How Ants Find Food
Ants live together in a nest. One ant goes out to look for food. When it finds food, it walks straight back to the nest. As it walks, it leaves a smell on the ground. The other ants smell the trail and follow it. That is why ants walk in a long line. Together they carry the food home.
