Scientists don't know the answer to that yet.
Yes, many insects are attracted to sugar because it provides a quick source of energy for them. Bees, ants, flies, and butterflies are some examples of insects attracted to sugar sources like nectar, honey, and fruits.
People like to call them Sugar ants. There are a variety of very small ants found throughout Florida. A good source for the most common pest ants in Florida is found here, http://flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/entomo/ants/Pest%20Ants%20of%20Fl/ These are the smaller ants on the list: Bicolored Trailing Ants Destructive Trailing Ants Ghost Ant Little Fire Ant Pharaoh's Ant Rover Ant
Ants are primarily omnivores, eating both plants and animals if possible. There are certain types of ants, such as the odontamachus, which are carnivorous, and leaf cutter ants, which are herbivores.
Well, the largest ants in the world are found in South-East Asia and The Australian bulldog ants are among the biggest, and those are about 6 centimetres. So in that matter, there are no 'giant' ants.
The effect the chalk has on ants is that it can penetrate their skin and dehydrate them. Chalk can slowly kill an ant.
Ants don't like electricity, they like the small magnetic field electrical wires and outlets put out, if you're having problems with ants, could you tell me what kind of ants you have, or at least try to explain what they looklike?
No, ants do not eat electric wires. They are not attracted to the materials in electric wires and are more interested in foraging for food sources such as plants, other insects, or sugary substances. However, they may come into contact with wires while exploring their environment.
Ants are attracted to electronics, heating vents, and things like electrical outlets because of the warmth that is generated by them.
Yes, there are ants that live in Wisconsin and bite. Fire ants one of them. Also, field ants will give you a pinch-like bite if you bother them. They will also bite pets.
Some poems about ants that I would recommend are "Ants" by Robert Frost, "The Ants" by Ogden Nash, and "The Ant Explorer" by Rachel Field. These poems explore the behavior and characteristics of ants in a creative and engaging way.
Magnetic field sensitivity has been reported in certain insects in experimental phases. Some of them are flies, beetles, and termites. Sensitivity has also been reported in butterflies, ants, bees, and moths. Reports show that certain insects gain directional information from geomagnetic fields for compass orientation.
They show the other ants where the food is.
Leafcutter ants have an "inner compass" to navigate. It uses magnetic poles to find its way.
Fire ants like to eat anything from fresh food to rotten food and from wood to electrical cable. Fire ants tend to commit mass suicide when near human settlements because of this. When one ant finds a nice 'juicy' electrical cable and chews through it, it shorts out the circuit and 'frys' itself. The dead ant releases pheromones which attracts other fire ants as they think that their colony is under attack. So all the fire ants attack the cable and get electrocuted as well. However the usual diet of fire ants tends to be other invertebrates such as other ants and beetles that get in their way when they are foraging or moving nest sites.
Try diatomaceous earth. It is a powder and will keep ants out of electrical devices. It is sold at lawn and garden supply houses. Silicone is the second best choice. place the dust at where the ants will have to cross it to get to the connectors.
falcon, fire ants, field mice, and ferocious people....
