Most ant species only defend the nest, trails and food. The Red Fire Ant is one that guards and defends an area around the colony.
Yes they do but, it really doesn't,
Matter because they are so small
colony..
Ants live in a 'formicary'. Bees live in a 'colony'. Termites live in 'mounds'.
Ants and termites
No, because groups of ants, bees, wasps, and termites are all very protective of their homes and others in their territory.
Actually, if you look this up on the internet, most reputable sites simply call them GROUPS. I could not find any other term, even on college and research websites. Termites live in nests, Bees live in hives, and Ants live in colonies, but the insects themselves are said to live in groups. ---- Beekeepers refer to groups of bees as colonies. The same term can be used for all. There question could also refer to taxonomical groups: Bees, wasps, ants, sawflies, and some others are in the order Hymenoptera; termites are in the order Isoptera.
Termites are actually more similar to cockroaches than ants. However, termites and ants may seem similar due to their body structure and antennae. Ants are less destructive than termites.
it is unlikely. Echidnas can live anywhere there are termites and ants, and termites (the echidnas' preferred food) are only found near vegetation.
Termites
There are many insects that are attracted to rotting wood. This includes termites, ladybugs, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles.
Yes ants live in large groups they are called colonies
These are social insects - such as ants, termites and bees.
No...Termites do not make noise but carpenter ants make shuffling noises in their chambers. If it is ants you will hear them.
The echidna does not rely on plants. Its diet is made up of termites and ants, and it uses its strong claws to dig into termite mounds, or underground into ants' nests, in order to find its food. It can live in the arid desert, or in bushland - wherever there are termites and ants.
