ant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'social' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'crawler' is the second definition.
(an ant crawls)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "Member of colony" , "One more provident than Grasshopper" , "Proverbially hard-working insect" , "Social worker" , "A soldier, for one" .)
