so many ants!

Hello everyone!
My name is Olivia and I am 2 days away from being 17 years old. When I was looking for an animal to study for this project I noticed many ants scurrying around in my backyard. I knew immediately that I wanted to study these tiny animals because they used to always invade my house during the winter: they got into every single bit of food! While studying them I saw that they always follow each other around in what looked like a game of "Follow the Leader". I found out that they form trails by sending out specific smells (pheromones), and that if I rubbed my finger on part of their trail that they wouldn't be able to follow their old trail anymore!
I really love to draw, paint, and do other art, and i also dance ballet. I love raspberries and avocados and basically all other types of food!
Bye!
