У мурашиних колоніях роботу виконують самки | Female Ants Do Most of the Colony’s Work

In most ant colonies, workers are female: they forage, care for brood, build the nest, and defend it. Males are usually produced seasonally to mate with young queens and die soon after the nuptial flight. This is the general pattern, not an absolute rule: in some species, workers can lay eggs that develop into males, and a few species reproduce without males. The illustration was created with AI.
