Ants

Most ant baits are Boric-based. Any pyrethrum insecticide (contact sprays) etc. are.

Ants natural predators are insects other than the Hymenoptera, arachnids, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and fungi. Naturally everything will prey on ants from an anteater to sparrow. Even ants will prey on other ants such as Fire Ants and Army Ants. Though on the flip side ants will prey on anything from other insects to amphibians so long as they're in large numbers (like the Army Ants).

Yes, in some parts of India, especially in the Northeastern states, red ant eggs are considered a delicacy and are consumed as a traditional food item. They are usually eaten cooked or fried and are said to have a unique, slightly sour taste.

An ant typically weighs around 1-5 milligrams, depending on the species. In terms of height, an ant can range from about 1.5 to 20 millimeters, with worker ants generally being smaller than queens.

Ants are not usually attracted to apples unless they are decomposing and beginning to ferment, which releases a sweet aroma that can attract them. Otherwise, ants are more commonly drawn to sugary substances like honey or sugar water.

Both carpenter ants and acrobat ants will bite. The carpenter ant rarely bites a human and they are not poisonous. The acrobat ant is quick to bite and this can cause pain and itching but they are not poisonous.

Yes, chickens will eat fire ants as part of their diet. Fire ants are an excellent source of protein for chickens and they'll eagerly consume them if given the opportunity. It's important to note that chickens should not be the sole method of fire ant control as they cannot completely eradicate an infestation.

Anteaters usually only have up to 2 babies max a year this is because anteaters are pregnant for 6 months and they normally only have 1 baby at a time. The mother then cares for the baby for a year sometimes letting the young nurse for the whole year. So it would only be every year and a half to two years that they would give birth.

Most ants do not fly. However, in may ant species the newly hatched queen ants (and their male counterparts) emerge with functional wings which they use to disperse and mate. Once mated they then normally shed their wings prior to establishing a new nest/colony. Thus they fly to disperse their species into new territories.

Male driver ants are typically around 1-2 centimeters in length. They are smaller than the larger worker ants in the colony.

Yes. Army ants can eat any thing in their path.

Of course. Fire ants burn their enemies with flame-throwers, and then they have a lovely grilled-to-perfection human! They like to start at the feet, and work their way up. They also like to chew on the bones to strenghten jaw muscles.

The famous hairdresser who appeared in the recent series of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was Nicky Clarke.

There are over 12,000 known species of ants, but it is estimated that there could be as many as 22,000 species in total. Ant species continue to be discovered and described by scientists around the world.

They like tiny bits of fruit or vegetables. But make sure they are very small amounts
because the last thing you want in an ant farm is moldy food. Ants also appreciate a drop of honey, some sugar, or bread dipped in sugar water. For their water supply, add a cotton-ball soaked in water. But mostly ants like sugary stuff.

Some common ant species found in Michigan include the odorous house ant (Tapinoma sessile), the pavement ant (Tetramorium caespitum), the carpenter ant (Camponotus sp.), and the acrobat ant (Crematogaster sp.). These species can vary in size, color, and behaviors but are commonly encountered in homes and outdoor environments in Michigan.

Yes, fire ants can be dangerous and their stings can be deadly for some people, especially those who are allergic to insect stings. Fire ants are aggressive and can attack in large numbers, resulting in painful stings that can cause severe reactions. It is important to seek medical attention if bitten by fire ants, particularly if experiencing an allergic reaction.

some can, some can not. it depends on the kind of ants.

Eusocial behavior, where individuals in a group cooperate in caring for young and dividing labor roles, is observed in ants, bees, and humans. This complex social structure involves a reproductive division of labor and overlapping generations within the group.

An inch ant bite reaction typically lasts for a few days, with symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling, and itching gradually improving during this time. However, some individuals may experience lingering symptoms or an allergic reaction that may require medical attention.

In most ants and bees, sex is determined by the fertilization of eggs. Fertilized eggs develop into females, while unfertilized eggs develop into males. This type of sex determination system is known as haplodiploidy.

Ants have 2 eyes, but each eye is made up of many smaller eyes.

You can observe ants building hanging garden houses in tropical rainforests, where they create intricate nests in trees using leaves and other plant materials. Some famous places to witness this behavior include the Amazon rainforest in South America or the rainforests of Southeast Asia.

Yes.

Certain ants produce a substance called formic acid, the simplest of the organic acids. Since we usually encounter ants outdoors and not in great groups, this odor would likely go unnoticed. But in an enclosed situation, there is no doubt the odor would be quite noticable to humans since it is very noxious.

No, ants do not squirt acid. Some ant species have venomous stingers that they use for defense, but the venom is not acidic. It is important to avoid being bitten or stung by ants as some species can cause painful reactions.

Bullet ants are omnivores, feeding on a diet of nectar, fruits, and small insects. They are known to forage on the forest floor for food and are also capable of hunting down prey using their powerful mandibles.
