Another interesting fact is that a winter ant's nest is kept insulated during the fall and winter. While other insect's muscles stop working in the cold temperatures, the winter ant powers through it. ]]> 2018-08-11 18:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/leocadiol221141/o6sgkl1ajcu8/wish/272721879 Quote from "The Book of Common Ants" leocadiol221141 https://padlet.com/leocadiol221141/o6sgkl1ajcu8/wish/272726186 "Winter ant nests can exist for more than 10 years.
