Look Into an Ants Life: Egg Stage

Unlike most insects who have a life cycle of just a couple of months, Black ants in Cliffside Park, NJ, can live for as long as 15 years! Typically, it’s the queen who will reach these old ages. Some queens have been reported to live as old as 28 years! On average though, a typical Carpenter ant or Black ant will live around 7-10 years. Which for a creature so tiny, is quite an impressive feat!

Before there can be workers that live 10 years, they all start out as an egg! Ants go through a life cycle of egg, larva, pupae, to adult. Let’s look at what the egg stage of life is like for this insect! Carpenter and black ants alike start out as eggs. The egg will develop for 7-14 days before they begin to hatch. While the eggs incubate, they are placed in a chamber to keep them safe. This chamber is called an ant nest, which is basically just an ant nursery.

Remarkably, male and female ants both carry eggs inside them. But only one member of the colony can lay fertilized eggs! Most of the colony’s members are females. But the only female that lays eggs in the colony is the queen. The queen of the colony’s job is to produce more workers. In one day, she can lay as many as 300,000 eggs! Over the course of her life, she lays around 150 million eggs in total! That’s commitment!

Since the queen’s only job is to keep the colonies’ numbers strong, she has worker ants that dote on her hand and foot, so she can spend all her energy laying eggs. Since a colony would not survive without its queen, if the queen were to die, the rest of the colony will go on as normal, but eventually, they will die off since there are no new members being created.
