Deby Cassill in 2009 broke with tradition and calls certain periods of rest in ants sleep.. Working with fire ants, she videotaped ants in an artificial nest. She created an artificial colony with three queens, 30 workers and 30 larvae. Checking the posture and position of the antennae, she concluded that queens sleep 90 times per day for 6 minutes per nap, whereas workers dosed 250 times per day for roughly one minute at a time.
How long do they live? Ants live for about two months, but in good conditions a nest can last for years. Garden ants mate in flight when winged males and females swarm between mid July and mid September. After mating the male dies and the female loses her wings and buries herself in the soil over winter.
