While some people consider ants to be pests, they are actually very beneficial to the

environment. Most ants build their homes underground. When they dig tunnels, it allows

air and moisture to get to the roots of the plants. This digging also brings up dirt, which

recycles nutrients. The recycled nutrients help plants grow. Did you know that ants are

predators? They eat insects that attack lawns and gardens. The insects and leaves are

often brought into their nest. When the leaves and insects decay, they fertilize the plants

in the surrounding area. Ants even help pollinate flowers and spread seeds. They may be

tiny, but ants sure are mighty!
