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.
If the motion of the atoms is altered by pressure or temperature, the state can change too. By lowering the temperature of water, it can freeze into a solid. By heating water, it can become steam which is a gas. Whether solid, liquid or gas â water is still water. Pressure can change matter from one state to another. Deep in the earth solids turn to liquids because the heavy weight of layers and layers of the earth push down on the solids causing them to turn to liquid magma.
