Ants use special smells to talk. When one ant finds food, it leaves a trail of tiny invisible dots on the ground for others to follow. These are like super-smelly stickers that say: 'Food this way!' Other ants sniff them and know exactly where to go.
Examples
- Ants use chemical signals, like invisible smells, to tell each other where to go.
- They follow invisible trails, which are like super-smelly stickers that say 'Food this way!' when one ant finds it.
- More ants on the trail mean stronger messages, so more ants join in to find the best food.
