Watch a row of ants moving up or down the wall. Each ant greets all the others coming from opposite direction by touching their feelers. The are many kinds of ants. The commonest among them are black or red ones. We have seen them we were children but haven't paid enough attention to them. Where do they live? In their comfortable home called nests or anthills.
