　　Army ants live in forests in Central and South America．Huge swarms of army ants hunt for insects such as 　　8　　．Driver ants are army ants that live in Africa．Harvester ants live in deserts．They eat seeds．

　　After the queen mates with a male ant, she makes or finds a 　　9　　．She then lays eggs．The first group of eggs to hatch become worker ants．The queen's only job after that is to lay more eggs．The worker ants 　　10　　 the job of caring for the nest．Males come from some of the eggs, queens and more workers come from other eggs．

　　When the egg hatches, a wormlike larva appears．It does nothing but eat and grow．When it gets big enough, it becomes a pupa．The pupa grows legs and antennae．It becomes an adult ant．
