The color variation in the back end of red ants can be due to different factors such as genetics, age, and environmental conditions. These variations may help in identification, communication within the colony, or thermoregulation. Natural selection can also play a role in determining the color differences based on the specific needs and advantages they provide in the ant's ecosystem.

Do ants bit?

Yes ... they do. All ants are female except a few males who are there to inseminate the queen/queens during mating. All ants bite when needed to defend the nest and there are some ants (soldiers) who have special abilities when doing so. Some soldier ants have large and powerful jaws to crush other ants while others have the ability to squirt formic acid at enemy ants when fighting. Yes ... female ants do bite and I can tell you from experience it can be quite painful.
