Can ants see in the hole?

Ants basically rely on their sense of smell to find things, but their eyes are also useful, but their sense of smell is their main purpose. Touch is mainly to exchange mutual information and explore the environment within the visual range, while smell can smell the food within hundreds of meters. Ants' eyes can not only see things, but also be used to judge directions. Because insects such as ants and bees have compound eyes, they can judge their orientation from the perspective of the sun's light, so ants mainly rely on their sense of smell (including communication among members) to find food and find their way.
