Ants communicate in colonies primarily through the use of pheromones, which are chemical signals released by the ants. They use pheromones to convey information about food sources, danger, and to maintain social order within the colony. Ants also communicate through tactile signals and sound vibrations in some cases.

Ants communicate in colonies primarily through pheromones, which are chemical signals they release to convey information to other ants. They use pheromones to leave trails to food sources, mark territories, and coordinate activities such as foraging or defending the colony. Ants also use tactile and auditory signals to communicate with each other.
