Winged Princess | Alate | Virgin Queen
|
A princess is an unfertalized virgin queen, she has wings present and so is an alate flying ant.
Princesses take to the skies to mate on a warm, humid summers day also known as the nuptial flight.
|
Once mated, they scurry along the ground to find a suitable nesting place to lay their eggs.
They clip their own wings and use them as a protein source to feed their new family. |
