of the ant really how to understand this strange phenomenon let's

learn

about the

life

and

death

cycle

of

ants

expand the first stage of An The ant's

life

begins underground within a colony where the queen ant lays thousands of small oval-shaped eggs. After 7 to 14 days, these eggs enter the second stage and hatch into La, which resemble legless worm-like creatures, as these LA are the future of the worker ant colony. Fangs care for them, love cleaning them and feeding them a rich diet that includes regurgitated foods to ensure their healthy growth.

This feeding phase is crucial as it provides the energy necessary for the LA bodies to mature and produce liquid protein substances that solidify upon contact with air that forms silk threads, the LA carefully weave these threads around themselves creating tough, protective cocoons and transforming into pupae the third stage of their life

cycle

within these protective shells a fascinating metamorphosis takes place as the lais' bodies restructure to develop adult features such as eyes, antina wings and legs that They fold against their bodies. After six to 10 weeks of transformation, adult ANS emerge from their cocoons ready to take on various roles within the colony, most becoming worker ants dedicated to foraging, caring for young, and defending the colony. nest, some develop. in males and queens intended for reproductive functions to ensure the growth and survival of the colony, these colonies are highly organized and function with remarkable efficiency due to their complex social structure and sophisticated communication, but how do ants communicate with each other to do so? ?

Ants use chemical signals called pheromones to transmit information about the dangers of food sources and other important aspects of colony life, for example, when a forager discovers a food source, it takes a small amount of food. and, as it returns to the nest, it leaves a pheromone trail along the return route of other ants. He detects this pheromon using his antina and follows the trail, which is why we see them walking in a straight line; However, since the other ants also release the chemical along the way, if an ant loses the main trail due to an obstacle and forms a junction, other ants rant.

You can follow the path switch creating a continuous loop called an ant

mill

. As more ants join the procession, the loop becomes narrower and more defined, resembling a spiral or circular formation. This cycle is commonly known as a death spiral because ants can eventually die of exhaustion. a side effect of the self-organized structure of ant colonies so we should never break Q ants walking in a straight line but if you see them CAU in a loop use a stick or similar object to create a space in the path that allows the ants disperse and find their way back to the Colony at the same time, ensure your own safety and contact the best control professionals or local entomologists for guidance on how to handle the situation.

Because some ants can sting quite a bit, it's a topic we've already covered. So check out the trivia. Did you know that a Mill Ant was first described in 1921 by William BB, who observed a

mill

1,200 feet in circumference? Yes, it took each of us and 2 and A2 to make a revolution. It's time to draw today's sketch. going to Divan sh hope you
