House of Ants

Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae /fɔrˈmɪsɨd/and, along with the related waspsand bees, belong to the orderHymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago anddiversified after the rise offlowering plants. More than 12,500 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified.[4][5] They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and the distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists. - wikipedia
