Ants breathe through pores in their exoskeleton. However, they do not drown due to an oil on their skin and the surface tension of the water. If you put an ant under water it would carry a bubble down with it. Therefore, no it is not hard for an ant to breathe when it rains.
it is because the ant hill is flattened and the whole is washed away
Get to higher ground or drown.
So they don't drown
Ants get water from the foods they eat, they usually do not drink water from deep places.
I read on the inside of a lid from a Snapple bottle (tenuous fact alert) that "ants can survive for up to 2 weeks under water". It didn't specify what kind of ant, or what kind of water (fresh, salt, etc). I'd love an actual answer to this one myself.
Technically yes, because you can drown them in your coke - but really, no because they are attached to starch in coke
No, no, no. If someone told you that turkeys drown if they look up when it rains, don't fall for it.AnswerThis person who answered the question is absolutely right, I once has been fooled by my friends. Turkeys never drown by looking up at the sky while it rains. Unless there was a flood. AnswerYes it is ture but they need there mouth open
I live in a mobile home that seems to be located on a large ant hill in California. The ants swarm inside when it rains too much. Recently they moved inside and I kept spraying with a mixture of lavender oil and water. It appeared to kill the ants and disorient them. Today I found more ants in the LR and they were feasting on >10 termites.
Soapy water can be an effective way to kill ants on plants. The soap disrupts the ants' ability to repel water, causing them to drown. However, it may not completely eliminate the ant colony, so additional methods may be needed for long-term control.
Ants breathe through their spiracles. These line the side of the thorax, which is the end most/distal body part.
it has no protein dude It is fizzy sugar water with a little phosphoric acid, flavoring and caramel. The only protein is the ants and bees that crawl into it and drown.
She's SO snooty, she will drown if it rains. Don't get snooty with me!
