Ants

No. Insects is just a lay-mans term for all animals that classify as insects (invertebrates with wings and six legs, for instance). A species classifies an organism as one that has distinct features from other organisms of the same Genus. The Blue Bottle Fly, for instance, is a species of insect.

Silverfish are bugs known by the scientific classification of lepisma saccharina. They are a silvery, light gray color with fish-like movements, hence their common name. It's natural predators include spiders, house centipedes and earwigs.

Yes, I found out army ants do live in Africa. But there are different types, so you should look on theInternet to find out more. By the way, I saw you the other day at McDonalds. where did you get those shoes??!!

An ant is a social insect that lives in colonies and operates as part of a highly organized community. They communicate through pheromones and work together in a structured hierarchy to ensure the success of the colony. Ants are known for their strength, agility, and ability to work tirelessly in search of food and resources.

An ant's outer covering is called an exoskeleton. It is a hard, rigid structure that protects the ant's body and provides support, similar to a suit of armor.

It can take a colony of ants anywhere from a few hours to a few days to build an ant hill, depending on the size of the colony and the complexity of the structure they are constructing.

If they are dead and decomposed, yes.If you piut in live ants, they may attack your worms.

Have you ever wondered where insects go when it rains? We have all seen a poor unfortunate spider washed down the plughole so we know how vulnerable they are to rushing water. Surely then, isn't rain one of their worst enemies?

Sorry, but this is one of these "it depends" things. It depends on the volume of the rain and the insect. If rain is light to moderate, most insects will take this in their stride. Just like us, they will take shelter. You may find insects under leaves or rock crevices. If the rain is light enough they may be quite happy to stay out and even enjoy it a little.

If the rain is heavy then things can be quite different. Insects that frequent water more often, like mosquitoes and water skaters will negotiate rising, flooding and flowing water with more ease. Those insects that are more used to dry land will be the most affected. Larger insects will cling to whatever shelter they can find until they are eventually washed along by running water. Depending on the insect, they will configure themselves to float on the water whilst protecting themselves. In general is not common for insects to drown. Many will simply be displaced and find themselves in new surroundings. Some, though, will inevitably perish.

Small burrowing insects - like ants - are good at finding air pockets in underground burrows, even during flooding and flowing water. They require very little oxygen and can survive for weeks using air pockets that are always available even in densely flooded areas. Once the waters subside there will be a high rate of survival amongst small insects that have found these air pockets, though ants, for example, will probably go about finding a new drier nest at the earliest opportunity.

It is thought that insects can "sense" the onset of very wet weather and make plans before us humans do. It is often observed in monsoon and rainy areas, that prior to an onslaught of wet weather, some buildings are invaded by insects looking for shelter. Of course, your house or businesses is an ideal place for ants to invade should some inclement weather come along!

Furthermore, when areas become flooded many ants tend to "hold" onto grass blades ect. and other ants onto them. Almost like a floating ant island. They will move in a rotation, constantly moving. I have personally obseved this and seen hundreds of ants in small bundles climbing ontop of each other making an "ant ball" as they hold onto whatever they can. This was obseved in Florida after a storm in a park where much of the park was flooded.

Ants typically emerge from hibernation in the spring, when temperatures warm up and food sources become more plentiful. The exact timing can vary depending on the ant species and location.

It depends on the kind of ant. If it's a reagular ant it would be small. If it's a red ant it would be big.

To alleviate the pain and itching from fire ant stings, wash the affected area with soap and water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take an over-the-counter antihistamine for itching. Avoid scratching the sting to prevent infection and seek medical attention if experiencing severe allergic reactions.

The name of the first ant in space was "Anita." Anita was part of an experiment by NASA in 2003 to study how ants behave in microgravity onboard the space shuttle.

No, an anthill is not considered a landform. Landforms refer to the natural features of the Earth's surface, such as mountains, rivers, and valleys, while an anthill is a man-made structure constructed by ants to serve as their home.

Yes, ants can see colors. But they certainly see the color of an object different to us humans. This is due to following reasons: 1.) Ants have 4 different light absorbing pigments (humans only 3). 2.) They probably see UV light as a color. 3.) They probably see different directions of polarisation of the light as different colors. While most insects (for example bees and wasps) can not see red light, ants can. So, yes, it is most likely that they can distinguish the colors you are specifically interested in, red, orange, and yellow. The brain computes out of all the information delivered from all sensory vision cells one image. Sadly we still lack any real idea how this is done in ants. Therefore it is impossible to tell how this image looks like for a ant. One more warning: there are thousands of ant species. Most of what we know about ants comes from a very few species investigated. It is near sure, if scientists investigate further they will find surprises and exemptions to what I said.

Binomial name for red ant is Oecophylla longinoda and Oecophylla smaragdina.

As a virtual assistant, I don't have personal opinions. Ant and Dec are both beloved TV presenters in the UK, known for their partnership and hosting popular shows. It's ultimately up to individual preference on who they think is cooler.

"Garbage ants" is not a recognized species of ant. It could be a colloquial term used to describe ants that forage for food scraps and leftovers in garbage or trash areas. Ants are known for their scavenging behavior and ability to feed on a wide variety of organic matter, including decaying food waste found in garbage.

The suffixes -ent and -ant are used to form adjectives that indicate someone is performing a particular action or showing a certain quality. For example, "coherent" means showing logical connection, and "brilliant" means shining brightly with intelligence or talent.

Ants are attracted to food sources such as sugary substances, protein-rich foods, and crumbs. They also seek out water sources and warm environments. Additionally, ants may be attracted to pheromones left behind by other ants as a way to communicate and navigate.

Yes, rats are omnivores and may eat bugs as part of their diet. In the wild, they might consume insects if other food sources are scarce. However, in typical urban or home settings, rats are more likely to eat human food scraps or pet food.

The success of the ant in moving a rubber tree plant can be attributed to its determination, persistence, and strength relative to its size. Ants are known for their strong work ethic and ability to work together to achieve seemingly impossible tasks.

If you have ever seen an ant before, the answer is very simple.Ant sizes vary depending on what kind they are. They grow upwards of 1 inch long.
The normal ants and termites are in the 3 to 15 mm range. But the carpenter ant can grow to 25 mm (more than an inch) in length, and the largest prehistoric ants were up to 3 times that size.

One example of a frog that eats fire ants is the fire ant frog (Leptodactylus wagneri). These frogs have evolved to have a resistance to the venomous bite of fire ants, allowing them to prey on them without harm. Eating fire ants can help control their populations in certain environments.

Myrmecology is the branch of entomology that focuses on the study of ants. It involves researching their behavior, ecology, classification, and evolution. Myrmecologists study how ants interact with their environment, including their social structures and foraging habits.
