Swarm creatures like ants can always surprise people, ? As a rising star in China's pet ant industry, the yellow ant has won the favor of many pet ant players because of its ingenuity and unity. An ant is only a very small creature in nature, and if they are in one place, it will be one of the most terrifying armies in nature. When petite ants are together, there is hardly anything to stop them. Watching the ants in labor will make people feel an inexplicable feeling.
The new pet in the pet world
They are very good at using the environment, as long as they are in the middle of the place, any corner can become their home. The fallen leaves in the forest, from the trunk to the top of the tree, they can occupy. The huts woven with leaves are a miracle they have worked together to create. In the huge number of ant kingdoms, there is a very strict hierarchy and a clear division of labor, in which soldier ants and worker ants will work for a lifetime.
Worker ants are labor
During nesting, worker ants stretch their bodies between branches and leaves, then contract their bodies to pull the leaves tight. If too far apart, they will close to each other, forming an ant bridge that brings the two adjacent leaves closer together.
Spectacular Ant Bridge
Next, the most peculiar scene appeared, another part of the worker ants contained larvae in their mouths, sent them to the joint, and a ball of silk appeared with a light squeeze, and it moved back and forth, like a loom, sewing the leaves together with layers of silk.
Ants that can sew
In this way, the worker ants used the young ants as spitting and weaving shuttles, weaving back and forth, and finally, under the concerted efforts of everyone, a perfect spherical nest was woven.
Pretend it's still a leaf
Larger nests can reach a diameter of up to 68 cm, and the nest is generally located in the canopy to the sun, and the woven base is also perfectly camouflaged. It has to be said that they are the best architects in the animal kingdom, and this method of weaving nests with larvae as shuttles is the most obvious example of social cooperation among lower animals, so the yellow fox ant is also known as the nesting ant.
Nesting ants
In the process of weaving the nest, although the ant colony has dispatched thousands of troops and horses, the momentum is huge, but the work is orderly and not chaotic at all.
It can be said that the ant family has set an example of concerted efforts and hard work for us. I hope that nature, the oldest community, will flourish.
