Dive Into an Ants Life Cycle: Larvae

To develop from egg to adult takes around 60 days. They go through four stages; they are as follows:

• Egg
• Larvae
• Pupae
• Adult

We are going to dive into what the larvae stage in Closter, NJ includes! After 7-14 days of incubating as an egg, an ant will transform into larvae. Ant larvae are very small, white, and look like short worms. As the ant larvae are developing, they don’t have the muscles or wings they will have once fully grown.

Adults ant keep all the developing larvae in one place, similar to a nursery. They will bring food to the developing larvae to help their growth and will care for them. The adults will mainly feed the larvae a liquid diet, but occasionally they can digest some solids! Some of their diets is regurgitated bodily fluids from the adult ants. While that may sound gross to us, it provides the larvae with all the nutritional needs they have! They also can switch it around, and worker ants have been known to feed on the larvae. This is a process called Larval Hemolymph Feeding, and surprisingly most larvae aren’t harmed by this.

Since the queen can lay hundreds of eggs a day, the colony cares for quite A LOT of larvae! Ant colonies are made up of mostly females. It’s one large sisterhood that gets the jobs done at hand in a smooth manner. The ants usually have one of three jobs, foraging for food, caring for the queen and young, protecting the nest, and helping with the maintenance of the nest.

We could all learn a thing a two from how ants split their works.

They are working in harmony to get the tasks at hand done! They are SO organized and work together SO well, some biologists say they almost resemble a single organism instead of hundreds and thousands. They have been called “superorganisms” because they fit together so perfectly.
