Certain insects spend time in both extended periods of settlement and extended periods of travel. During a period of travel, the entire group will continually move from one place to another. This is known as a nomadic phase. A nomadic phase may begin because a group of insects has a temporary need for additional resources that cannot be found in the area near the nest. Thus, the group must travel in search of these resources. Once the need for additional resources is over the nomadic phase ends and the group settles again in one location.

原文：The professor takes the ants as an example to illustrate the nomadic phase. The ants live on the ground joints near food to cater for their food demands. And when baby ants need more food and they may surge in around and begin the nomadic phase, typically the adults may leave the nest and let the baby ants carry them along to search for their food. And until they surge and migrate night after night, and until the baby grows up, they ended and settled down to build a new nest.

修改后：The professor uses ants as an example to illustrate the nomadic phase. The ants live in underground colonies near food sources to meet their nutritional needs. When baby ants require more food, they initiate the nomadic phase, during which adult ants leave the nest and allow baby ants to carry them while searching for food. They continue to migrate every night until the baby ants grow up, at which point they settle down and build a new nest.（修改了一些词汇和语法错误，使句子更加自然。）

修改建议及解释：

将 "takes" 改为 "uses"（更自然的表达方式）
将 "ground joints" 改为 "underground colonies"（更准确地描述蚂蚁的栖息地）
将 "cater for" 改为 "meet"（更自然的表达方式）
删除 "and they may surge in around"（表达不清晰，简化句子）
将 "let" 改为 "allow"（更正式的表达方式）
将 "ended" 改为 "at which point"（更自然的表达方式）
将 "settled down" 改为 "settle down"（与前面的 "they" 一致）

修订版（140字）：

The professor uses ants as an example to illustrate the nomadic phase. The ants live in underground colonies near food sources to meet their nutritional needs. When baby ants require more food, they initiate the nomadic phase, during which adult ants leave the nest and allow baby ants to carry them while searching for food. They continue to migrate every night until the baby ants grow up, at which point they settle down and build a new nest. This process demonstrates how the nomadic phase is essential for the survival and growth of the ant colony, as it ensures a continuous supply of food for the developing baby ants.
