How many ants can live in an apartment?

None, ants dont live in apartments. They live in colonies.

I saw a documentary on ants once and it really impressed me about their sacrificial nature.\n\nA colony of ants was moving and it came to a stream. Immediately, the front ants strung themselves together to form a bridge across the moving stream. Once the ant-bridge was formed, all the other ants were able to cross to the other side.\n\nThe sacrifice of some enables the colony to survive.\n\nJohn 15:13\n"Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his brothers."

ants have six legs, so if they loose one or two they are still fine. And they don't feel the same kind of hurt than we do (at least they don't have pain receptors of a type which is comparable to ours), so an ant with a damaged or even missing leg may just walk on without being too much bothered by it. Watch their behavior, it will tell you how bad they feel (give it a minute or two).\n\nSo if you just damaged one of its legs, you should let it live, because it still can live on quite nicely. If you stepped on part of its body it is probably kinder to kill it completely because it is not going to be able to live on anyway.

Ants build anthills because that is their home where they keep the queen to make more ants. It is also used for protection against wind, rain and people stomping on it.

All the ants. There's about a googleplex of ants out there.

I currently live in a log home and get carpenter ants all the time. I wipe the walls with bleach water as soon as I see one and they don't come back for a year. I try to wipe the walls with bleach water at least 2times during the summer(once to get rid of them and the second time to keep them away).\n\n\nJust thought I would let you know that rmaylaura is interested in ya. I seen a question she asked and she wants you to take notice in her. To bad I was hopin' I caught your eye. I guess too little too late;( Also I have a question for ya. Just click on my profile and it will be under the questions I asked.

Try a giant ant dancing &/ playing with a basketball, cockroach cleaning with a broom. U can really be flexible with insects cos  they have 6 legs.

No insects sleep, in the traditional sense. They go into something called "diapause." What happens is at night in temperate climates, the air temperature drops to levels at which the insect can no longer function normally. They get sluggish, find a safe place to hide, and stay there, in a nearly "frozen" state, completely inactive until the sun rises and temperatures increase. \n\nFor ants in tropical climates, the air temperatures usually do not get chilly enough for them to go into diapause and they work throughout the night, never sleeping.\n\nSo the answer is true.

Look in moist wood areas for carpenter ants. They are fairly large as far as ants go.

I would assume in a townhouse you could potentially see\ncockroaches, silverfish, spiders, ants, fruit flies, house flies, mosquitos, earwigs, woodlice, maybe cat fleas/dog fleas? \nYou could also have human fleas or head lice\ntermites, if you live somewhere nice and warm, also scorpions\n\nif you have house plants could could also have white flies, aphids, nematodes, springtails\n\nif you keep them as pets, invertebrate pets are tarantulas, madagascar hissing cockroaches, giant centipedes, walking sticks, praying mantis

it really vaies state to state... there really is not limit- as long as ur apartment doesnt have a thing to do with the goverment-- ex- substdized, insured, etc\n\ni livved in denver-- very nice apt-- 3rd floor- fireplace, parking, pool, fitness, heat--- i paid 450 a month- a steal-- the 4rd year went to 875.... nothing could be done  \n\ncheck ur contract---... most cant be raised if u have a 1 year- within that year- unless the ownser occurs very high bills- like oil, eletric..\n\ngood luck

Depends on what ants you are talking about \n\n some ants like  sweet stuff\n\nTry leaving some bread and jam or honey around ,\n in the ant season  \n and you will see them homing in on it , in droves .\n\n Some ants are carnivorous  \n living on other insects and even caterpillars \n\nsome ants are scavengers that will eat  or take to their nest anything  they can find that is edible  .\n\nBut ants love sweet stuff above all . \n\n>^,,^<

According to the myrmecologists (ant specialists), there are over 20 000 species of ants on our planet, grouped into 350 different genera. It is in the ponerine tribe that the world's largest ants are found, namely, the Paraponera and the Dinoponera.\n \nThe Dinoponera gigantea are by far the largest, measuring up to three centimetres in length.

All female ants have wings when they hatch. After they hatch, they take a maiden flight where they are met with swarms of male ants. She mates many times, then seeks out a nesting place to make a colony, breaks off her wings, and tunnels underground to start her colony. This is how you tell mated females from unmated females: the unmated females still have their wings.\n\nWhen an ant colony loses their queen, they will sometimes split into two or more colonies. It is not known how or why they select a particular larva, but the drones all begin feeding a single larva a special diet (NOT royal jelly - this is specific to bees, which are related to ants and have similar biology and behavior to ants). This special diet causes the larva to grow larger than others, and become a fully reproductive female (the other "females" in the colony are sterile - same as bees). Once this larva hatches, she mates, breaks off her wings, and becomes the new queen. \n\nIn many cases, several larvae will be fed the diet to become fully reproductive females, but only one will become queen of that colony, the others will go with the rest of the colony if it splits, or they will go on to form their own colony. As someone mentioned above, a queenless colony, on occasion, will meld with another colony that still has a queen. But as far as I understand, it is more common for the queenless colony to raise several new queens that will be dispersed where needed.\n\nThere is a lot of research going on right now with both bees and ants to figure out how this selection of a new quieen occurs and why it is so consistent. Also, how a queen (bee or ant) can mate during one flight in her entire life, yet produce viable eggs for some 20 years or so after...how does the male sperm stay viable within her for that long? This all has yet to be discovered.\n\nBees and ants are just the coolest insects and there's so much we have yet to discover about them!

The genus Atta is the pinnacle of Attine evolution, with 15 species representing the premier leaf-cutting ants. The huge queens, well over an inchlong, are efficient egg-laying machines, giving rise to worker populations as large as several million individuals. The workers are strongly polymorphic, varying in length from about 1/16 to 5/8 inches, and correspondingly, a several hundred-fold increase in body weight! \n\nThis is what I could find on the Atta...Here is the website on the total Leafcutter Ants issus...well one website anyways. (The first site listed is what I found this info under)

ants are the coolest-all over the world different species work in large colonies to do amazing things, they practice agriculture: some cultivate a species of fungus to eat using cut up leaves as substrate and every time there is a new colony to be formed they bring the fungus with them. Some raise aphids like cows protecting them from predators to feed on a sweet secretion they produce. Some live in specialy evolved hollow spaces on plants built specifically to house ants who in return protect the plant from any intruder and even vines that try to grow on it-they will even weed out plants trying to grow on the ground around it! They also wage wars against other ant colonies, and that's just the beginning....

It's probably a lot, but the question is hard to answer, it's just like ask how many ants are in the African Continent..☺
