Ants

Many ants secrete formic acid, which is foul-tasting to many larger animals. However, some birds have discovered that formic acid is good for removing lice, so in a process called active anting, a bird will sometimes pick up an ant and use it like a sponge, squeezing out its formic acid on its feathers.

Red fire ants are not native to Greece. They endemic the North American south. They may be found further north, but it is not common.

Sometimes they build their colonies right against each other, ants tend to eat termites, so they tend to avoid contact, they may have just one mm of wood or 2 inches of clay, but no they stick with their own species

as big as ant peenis

It depends upon there adaptibilty of there generation......

ain't none (advantages at least)

I'm from Canada, and if it looks like a bee, but thinner (more like a wasp and dark) we call them "mud wasps." These little suckers can really sting and their sting has the same effect as a fire ant. They usually borrow into mud or wet sand and can float and swim across the water. If you go to your drug store ask the pharmacist for a good ointment to use. It will work and when my husband and I go camping or out in the boat we always take a tube.

Who would know that?

Carpenter ants dig through wood leaving a sawdust residue. Wood bees or carpenter bees also leave a sawdust residue as they dig into wood to make a nest. Termites actually eat the wood so they would not leave a sawdust residue

The correct name for the spiny anteater is echidna. The echidna is not a marsupial, which is the general term for pouched mammals, but a female echidna does develop a pouch, or rather a flap of skin, during the breeding season. She curls up and lays her single egg in this pouch, where it is then incubated until it hatches. Sometimes, the male even develops a pouch during breeding season, but it serves absolutely no function.

No, ants usually don't eat bushes and shrubs. They do eat some herbs, such as basil, but typicaly not shrubs. They do live in or around one or two garden plants, or any plant, if the plant has lots of aphods for them to eat. They probobly won't eat the plant, but they will live there if there are still aphods. If they run out of aphods, they may or may not leave, depending on how close other uses of food for them is near.

well by my calculations they are 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 ants in delhi

no.

mollusks are creatures like sea snails, clams, octopus etc

Cormorant and pheasant.

Termites are known to do more damage to buildings because they actually eat the wood found in buildings and houses. Carpenter ants do damage as well, but only to make room for nests in wood.

It is the 29 daysnin february in leap year.

It'd be best to go see a doctor.

There are 12,500 identified species of ants. There is an estimated 22,000 species to be in the world. The ant fits into an ecosystem as an important insect for controlling the dead organic debris clean up.

The preferred diet of harvester ants are nuts and seeds, so they are vegetarians. These types of ants are considered the main food source for desert horned lizards.

ants like cheese better than sugar because even though sugar is sweeter when i did this project the ants completely covered the cheese

no a bird brings them in a cloth to there hill

The better part of their jobs is built into their brains by the time they are grown-up. What they need for that knowledge is built into their genes. A bit of it they learn on the job, and working with their nest mates. This is generally what happens with animals like insects that don't have much chance to learn as they grow.

yes they do

Beware of questions of the form of: "What is the purpose of..." Such a question is meaningless in most cases, and from different points of view one gets different answers.

Are you asking the question as, for example, a philosopher, a biologist, a farmer, a human, an ant eater, or a fire ant? For the philosopher, if there is an answer, it might be something like: "It depends on what you mean by having a purpose, which is not in general obvious. There might be many purposes for many things to many interests, or there might be none at all. If there must be some purpose, it is not clear that we can know the purpose for everything; the purpose of a hammer in a hardware store might be to make a profit. In a carpentry workshop it might be to drive a nail. In the hands of a burglar it might be to break a window. On a scale it might be to balance a weight; in a doorway it might be to prop the door open. To an experimenter the purpose of a fire ant might be to find out whether other fire ants are likely to bite, or sting, or both."

The biologist might say: "The purpose of the fire ant, if you insist on having a purpose, which is a very artificial and strained kind of idea, is to make lots more fire ants like itself."

The farmer might say: "To kill pests that eat my crops, or, evilly, to prevent my cattle from grazing in my pastures."

The ant eater might say: "Yum yum."

The human might say: "To obey my commands, because I have dominion over them. I have a little book that tells me that."

The fire ant might say: "To provide food and shelter for myself and my nest mates, and to kill and eat anything that interferes with that."

Until you can make sense of such ideas, and work out what the idea of purpose means for such points of view, there is no way to answer the question.

And while we are thinking of treacherous kinds of ideas, another kind of question to beware of is: "Why..."

Such questions can mean too many things or too few to answer.

Why are such questions dangerous? What is their purpose?
