20 Scientists estimate that there are more than 20,000 species of ants. The species range in size from 1 mm long to 38 mm long and live in most environments. The
diets of ants range from flowers and seeds to fluids from their own larvae. Ants
have been able to successfully inhabit so many different environments because their
populations have been able to -
F hybridize with other species of insects
G adapt to a variety of habitats and food sources
H fill niches usually occupied by mammals
J occupy habitats that have no other life-forms
