Question

DO Ants and mosquitos and termites also have brains?? If yes then what is the size?

Answer 1

Mosquitoes like other insects have a tiny central nervous system which consists of a nerve ganglion rather than an actual brain. A ganglion can be considered to be equivalent to a very tiny brain. Ants have a main brain and several smaller brains that run along the length of their bodies called, "ganglia". The ganglia are little assistant brains to the main brain. The brain inside the ants head controls things like smell, sight and touch, but the smaller brains control, to some degree movement of the ant. Have you ever noticed that an ant will continue to twitch if you step on it? Even if the head is separated from the ants body, the legs will still twitch. This is because the smaller brains (ganglia) are still telling the ants legs to move! Termites belong to the insect order IsopteraTermites belong to the insect order Isoptera Termits also have brains their size maybe the size of a pin head or smaller
