Lifecycle of the Worker Ant
Stage 1: The Queen Ant lays eggs.
Stage 2: After a few days the eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae are fed by the Worker Ants.
Stage 3: After about 8 days the larvae spins a cocoon around itself. Once in the cocoon it is called a pupa.
Stage 4: 3 weeks later young Ants hatch from the cocoons. They are helped out by the Worker Ants. These Ants spend their life gathering food and keeping the nest tidy. Worker Ants live for about 5 years.
