Some insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, live in organized communities and are considered social insects. Ants are one of the most highly developed of the social insects. They live in colonies where their members are divided into a clearly defined caste system, which includes queens, workers and males. Each ant has its own purpose and duties within the colony. There are over 10,000 kinds of ants, with unique characteristics, such as the slave makers who raid the nests of other ants for their young, or dairying ants which capture certain insects and keep them to be milked of liquids. Ants will go to war and raid other ant colonies, even within their own type. Being a social insect, they must communicate with others within their colony, to send warnings of danger or signal the location of a food supply.
