Communication
Ants communicate with each other using pheromones, sounds, and touch

Using their antennae, the ants will smell each other. After it is determined they are nest mates, they sometimes engage in a strange greeting ritual which involves the ants standing mouth to mouth. One ant then regurgitates a drop of liquid into the other ant's mouth.
