2 large sideways cutting teeth called mandiples, each mandiple lined with sharp jaggy hairs for mushing up the food.
I love ants, i think they're SOOOooo interesting. I once had an ant farm as a kid.
What do YOU think of ants?

Yes they have teeth. Ants are one of the most successful groups of insects in the animal kingdom. They are of particular interest because they are a social insect and form highly organized colonies or nests which sometimes consist of millions of individuals. Colonies of invasive ant species will sometimes work together and form super-colonies, spanning a very wide area of land. Ant colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms because they appear to operate as a single entity.
Ants have colonized almost every landmass on Earth. They can constitute up to 15% of the total animal biomass of a tropical rainforest; in the Amazon the combined weight of the ants is said to be four times larger than that of the tetrapods in the same area. As of 2006, there are 11,880 known ant species, most of which reside in hot climates.

I don't know, but I read somewhere that they store fat.
So much for obscure ant facts.

Have you ever been bitten by one of these things? Yes, I think they do have teeth, even if they are not officially called that.

They used to. But they lost their dental insurance.
