Being a social insect, must communicate with other members of their colony ants, to warn of danger or indicate the location of a reserve alimentos.Las ants build nests in leaves or plants will give a hit with your gasters (tail ant) to the outer wall of the nest to indicate a hazard or make it known to his fellow colony have discovered a food reserve. Said forward stroke vibrations along the nest. Some ants squeak or buzz rubbing parts of their bodies, indicating a warning of danger or a request for help to transport food.
