Colony

How the colony works

Foragers

Random-walk the meadow, follow the green food trail, carry crumbs home laying new pheromone.

Diggers

Carve the blueprint of new tunnels and chambers and haul dirt pellets up to the crater mound.

Nurses

Carry eggs from the queen to the nursery and feed hungry larvae. Egg, larva, pupa, new ant.

Soldiers

Patrol the entrance and swarm intruders: spider, beetle, rival raiders.

Cleaners

Carry dead ants to the waste chamber.

Rain

Heavy rain floods the upper tunnels. Ants flee downward and wait it out.
