    Some ants store liquid food inside their own bodies. Their swollen abdomens turn living workers into the colony’s food reserves.

  2. These workers hang from the ceiling

    Storage workers cling to the roof of a nest chamber. Other workers bring them food, filling the enlarged crop inside the abdomen.
