Ant's Self grooming routine #Ant #Self-grooming #trending #animal-planet #naturelovers

Ants clean their prothoracic legs (forelegs) using their mouthparts, specifically their mandibles, maxillae, and labial palps.

The process typically involves:

Raising the foreleg towards the mouth.

Using the mandibles and palps to remove dirt and debris from the leg.

This behavior is part of the ant's self-grooming routine, essential for maintaining hygiene and sensory efficiency, as their forelegs often come into contact with various surfaces during foraging and other activities.
