Western Harvester ants, for instance, often dig their hills as much as 15 feet into the ground. While all ant hills are complex, their design can greatly differ depending on the ant species. Ants will even move around the hill depending on the time of the day, moving larvae to the warm surface during the day and further into the hill at night. For example, the impressive network of tunnels in an ant hill are connected to large chambers, which are used for food storage, nurseries, and a wide variety of other activities. The incredible thing about ant hills is that they almost resemble a human city, containing a variety of structures and near constant activity. Typically, an ant hill will be made from a combination of dirt, small rocks, pine needles, and whatever other materials were left over after the ants have dug their colony. The larger the ant hill, the more extensive the colony tunnels underneath. At the top of the hill, there will be a small hole that serves as the entrance and exit to the colony. As ants dig their long and winding tunnels beneath the ground, the excess dirt and debris is carried out and placed near the colony entrance, creating the ant hill.
The ant hill is a byproduct of ants building their colony. With ant hills, like icebergs, there’s much more than meets the eye, and the small mound you see in your backyard hides a large, intricate structure just inches below the soil. When learning about ant hills, one of the most important things to understand is how these hills are built. Read about the intricacies of the ant hill, and discover how these tiny insects create these impressive constructions. However, fewer people understand just how complex ant hills are and why these structures are so important to the insects they house. Almost everyone has seen an ant hill at some point in their life, and knows that the hill is that ant’s home base.
