- The pantry is alive
Some ants store liquid food inside their own bodies. Their swollen abdomens turn living workers into the colony’s food reserves.
- 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.
- One colony. Different jobs.
Some workers collect the food; others store it. The colony’s supply is held in the bodies of its own workers.
