Ants are very diverse and it is difficult to generalize about them. When ant colonies reproduce, the new queens and males may be found in the colony. Males generally have small heads, large eyes, large thoraces, and a pair of claspers at the end of the gaster. After mating, new queens break off their wings and never fly again. Without wings, they can generally be distinguished from workers by their larger body size, larger thorax and larger abdomen.
All workers are females.
Ant larvae are white and grub like. They have no legs and don't move about much on their own. You can generally see a large, dark stomach through their cuticle. Ant pupae look like white adult ants, with their legs and antennae pressed close to their bodies. In some species, larvae spin silk and the pupal stage is inside a cocoon.
