eli5 – How do ants know where there is sugar?

279 views

How do ants know I’ve dropped a piece of candy in my room and gather their squad to eat it when there were no signs of ants previously? Do they smell that there’s sugar? Even so, how? The world seems so huge to them to know where to scout

They use their antennae to detect the sugar. And they taste to confirm if it’s sweet or not
