The Little ant seems to be always confused. Do you know why?

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I am double, I am single,
I am black blue and grey,

I shift above you if you remove the first letter.
I come all around you if you remove the second as well.
