Many animals and insects show great cleverness in building their nests and habitats, in a manner which is taking into account environmental and climatic factors. Such as good ventilation and adjust the temperature and humidity inside the shelter, besides durability of construction itself. The studies and researches conducted on the shelters of animals and insects design are few. Therefore, the objective of this study is to shed light on designing of colonies and nests of ants, to find out how the ants build nests remain strong for a long time. Also, to know the methods those are used to ventilate and regulate temperatures within those nests. The study is divided into two main parts: The first, theoretical and analytical sheds light on the most important results of previous studies performed on the nests of ants, which are digging beneath the surface of the earth. The second is a field study of a termite valley near the equator, Uganda.
