How does an egg convert into a complete ant?

On a hot summer day, the queen takes a ‘wedding flight’ to meet a male ant in the air, while returning to the Earth, the queen ant casts away its wings. Thereafter, the queen ant does not work other than laying eggs. After some time, these eggs are hatched and the young ones emerge. When young ants or grubs come out of it, they take 2-3 weeks to become cocoons. For the next 3 weeks, they lie without any food or activity. After it, the cocoons break and emerge as complete or perfect ants. Thus, an egg converts into an ant.
