All about the ant

The ant is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in underground nests almost everywhere, and it eats seeds, crumbs and sweet things. It marches in a line. This page is a good fit for ages 3 to 8 (Preschool to 3rd Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the ant one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
