                 Ants use pheromones for commu-
                 nication. The first individual to
                 leave the nest deposits the scent
                 at specific intervals. Later ants that follow are easily able to follow that trail. The
                 detection of the chemical trail left by one member happens by means of the
                 sense of taste or smell.
