Ants

No, of course not ants can't make stars simply by eating each other. That is probably just a myth or an urban legend. that's a lie! two days ago me and my girlfriend stopped and saw ants making a star. after i spit on them they started running away and in the middle was a live ant!

I tried crushing it with a cap to a drink and it pretends to be dead, when it notices you arent paying attention(it sounds wierd but this is what i observed) it slowly starts moving and the body slowly fills out, when i thought that it was in a slightly differant area of the plate i put it on while looking it up, i watched it for a minute and it didnt move. A minute later i looked back and it had moved a about 6 inches, and as soon as i looked it stopped (it was like we were playing red light, green light... i won) I crushed it with the cap again, but it once again started to move after a minute or 2. What you need to do is when u crush it with something twist while crushing (it grinds it) He(actually it was the female-no wings) did not survive that time.

Yes, but ants have fairly formidable defence mechanisms, and many species will defend themselves with formic acid sprayed into the eyes of predators, or enlisting their soldier caste to attack with their larger mandibles.

Yes, ants are attracted to human crumbs because they contain sugars and other nutrients that ants seek out as a food source. Ants are known to forage for food and bring it back to their colonies, making crumbs an easy target for them.

they are metameric beings (segmented body), they have anexoskeleton made of chitin and they present articulated limbs.

The queen red ant is usually found deep within the nest, residing in a special chamber called the royal chamber. This chamber is typically located towards the center of the nest and is well-protected by the worker ants.

The description matches that of a velvet ant, which is actually a type of wasp rather than an ant. The bright coloration serves as a warning sign due to their capability to deliver a painful sting when disturbed. It's best to avoid handling them to prevent getting stung.

Ants are typically attracted to sweet flavors like sugar, honey, or syrup. They are also drawn to protein-rich foods such as meat, cheese, and peanut butter. It is important to keep all food sources sealed tightly to avoid attracting ants into your home.

Generally speaking, the ants in the colony are all females except for the winged workers, or "drones", they are males. The only other winged ant in the colony would be a recent queen, who hasn't removed her wings yet, or a female that hasn't mated yet. Most of the time the females are somewhat larger than the males. The fine details can be slightly different with some species, but for most ants, these general facts hold true. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

All ants bite or nip if you like with their mandibles which are capable of delivering a poison. Personal experiences: Yes, it is true. My wife was bitten by a common black ant and I white pimple appeared with some redness. I never thought that they would bite because I have neven been bitten by a common black ant. A red ant, absolutely. The Texas red ant which is huge, has bitten me and it really did sting and hurt. My ankle swelled up. Over a few days, the swelling disappeared and all was well.

The ant you are describing is likely a species of fire ant, specifically the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). These ants are known for their black bodies with red-orange stripes and often have an hourglass-shaped mark on their abdomen. Fire ants are known for their painful stings and aggressive behavior.

Ants can exhibit complex behaviors and problem-solving skills, but their cognitive abilities are limited compared to humans. They rely heavily on instinct and pheromone signals for communication and navigation, rather than true thinking in the way humans do.

The description matches that of a Tailless Whip Scorpion, also known as an Amblypygid. These arachnids have flattened bodies, long front legs that resemble antennae, and powerful pincers used to catch prey. Despite their intimidating appearance, Tailless Whip Scorpions are harmless to humans.

Yes, there are some species of ants in New England that can be dangerous, such as red imported fire ants and carpenter ants. While their bites or stings can be painful and cause allergic reactions in some people, they are not typically life-threatening. It is important to take precautions and seek medical help if needed.

Worker ants are genetically programmed to serve the queen as it ensures the survival and success of the colony. They rely on the queen for reproduction and guidance in maintaining the colony, so it is in their best interest to work together in a cooperative system.

It sounds like you may have encountered a reproductive stage of winged ants called alates. Alates are often seen swarming in the spring and fall as they mate and establish new colonies. These ants are harmless and will likely disperse on their own once they have mated.

Ants with wings... are just that, ants with wings. They evolve to move on to a new nest and build a new colony.

Sometimes what you think might be an ant with wings is a termite or carpenter ant, or vice versa. But check out some pictures and you'll see the difference.

But gnats don't look remotely like ants. Seriously...

The number of ants in a colony can vary depending on the species, but it can range from a few hundred to several million. Ant colonies are highly organized societies with specific roles for different ants such as workers, queens, and drones.

Some animals that primarily eat insects include insectivorous birds like robins and bluebirds, insectivorous mammals like anteaters and some bats, as well as certain reptiles like chameleons and geckos. Insects form the main source of nutrition for these animals.

Harvester ants do not sleep in the same way that humans do. They have periods of rest where they are less active, but they are always on alert for threats and food sources. They take turns resting while others in the colony are active.

Yes, army ants typically live in tropical rainforests in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. They are known for their aggressive behavior and large colonies that move in a nomadic fashion to forage for food.

Household products like diatomaceous earth, boric acid, and white vinegar can be effective in killing fire ants. Sprinkling these products directly on the ant mounds or along ant trails can help eliminate fire ant colonies in your home or yard. It's important to follow safety instructions and use caution when handling these products around children and pets.

Young ground frogs may eat black ants as part of their diet, as ants are a common food source for many frog species. However, diet can vary depending on the specific species of frog and their environment. It is important to provide a varied diet to ensure the nutritional needs of young ground frogs are met.

No, not all insects have a thorax. Insects are classified into different orders based on their body structure, and not all orders have a distinct thorax region. Some insects, like butterflies and moths, have a clear division of head, thorax, and abdomen, while others may lack a distinct thorax or have a modified body structure.

Spider ants are a type of ant species that typically have elongated bodies with long, slender legs. They are known for their unique appearance that resembles a cross between an ant and a spider, hence the name "spider ant." These ants are often found in tropical regions and exhibit interesting behaviors such as foraging and communicating through vibrations.
