Do ants ever grow white wings? This is a legitimate question?
Yes, that’s true. Among the 10,000 or so species of ants many of the queens will infact have wings to start new colonies elsewhere. There are also some species of flying ants. You see, all hymenoptera, that is to say bees, wasps, and ants, are in the same grouping of animals. The oldest is the wasp. Ants are in essence wingless wasps over millions of generations. So if you think of whales that go back to the sea, some ants take back to the air.
