Larger colonies consist mostly of sterile, wingless females forming castes of workers, soldiers, or other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called drones and one or more fertile females called  queens .The colonies are described as superorganisms because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony.ome arthropod species spend part of their lives within ant nests, either preying on ants, their larvae, and eggs, consuming the food stores of the ants, or avoiding predators. These inquilines may bear a close resemblance to ants.
1 Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. 2  Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. 3  Deposition: the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase.
(It is also sometimes called fusion .). Another change that can occur for some solids is to change directly into a gas instead of changing into a liquid, and that is called sublimation. The reverse of this process can also occur. Some gases can be cooled down and changed directly into a solid.his kind of phase change--liquid to gas--is called evaporation or vaporization. Water vapor can in turn be cooled to form liquid water. This kind of phase change--from gas to liquid--is referred to as condensation.
