Extractions: The Topic: Ants Easier - Ants are small insects, strong for their size, that live in a large group called a colony. Ants often dig tunnels in the ground or in wood. Ants can carry over 25 times their weight. There are many kinds of ants. Harder - Ants are small social insects that live in organized communities called a colony. There are near 20,000 species of ants that vary in size, color, and ways of life. Most are a dull, drab color such as brown, rust, or black. However some ants are yellow, green, blue, or purple. The largest ant species can reach over 1 inch in length, while the smallest is about 1/25 of an inch. Some ants can lift items 50 times their own weight. Ants are distinguished from ant like wasps by a knot like growth or node on top of their waist. Ants are most numerous in warm climate regions, but they live almost everywhere on land except for extremely cold locations. Ants have many different ways of life. Some ants live in underground tunnels or build earthen mounds. Other ants live inside trees or in certain plants. Some construct nests of tree leaves. Army ants do not have permanent nests. Some types of army ants move across the land in enormous swarms eating insects they encounter. 'Slave maker' ants raid other nests and enslave the captured young. Harvester ants collect seeds and store them within their nests. Another species are sometimes called dairying ants, because they keep insects that give off a sweet liquid.

Extractions: Home Although ants seem little and insignificant to us, once we look into their world they become important. The way Argentine ants build their homes and the way they communicate are unique. In addition, the social structure of the Argentine ant is different from other ants. To get into their world, it's necessary to learn more about them. Are you ready? Let's march into the underground world of the Argentine ant. Left . . . left . . . left, right, left . . . The Argentine ants can usually be found in the top six feet of soil. They can live in moist soil underneath buildings and by sidewalks. Boards can also be used as shelter. Sometimes colonies develop in potted plant soil. Nests can be made of rocks, twigs, dirt, and so forth. Argentine ants relocate their nests often. Food sources and temperature affect where nests are built. Other types of ants live in anthills that look simple on the outside but contain a labyrinth of specialized chambers. WELCOME TO THE COLONY!

Extractions: EXPLORE ANIMALS ENVIRONMENT HISTORICAL BIRTHDAYS ... home Contents ANT, common name for social insects of the family Formicidae, in the order HYMENOPTERA, which also includes the bees and the wasps. Unlike bees and wasps, some species of which are solitary, all ants are social, living in organized colonies. True ants are to be distinguished from the so-called white ants, or termites , constituting the separate order Isoptera. In most ant species, males remain winged throughout life, and females are winged until after mating. Certain wingless females, called workers, are usually infertile. The fertilized female becomes the queen of the colony, with the main function of laying eggs. The males die after mating, and the workers gather food, care for the young, and defend the colony. The nests of many species of ants commonly consist of chambers and galleries excavated under stones or logs or underground; some species construct their nests in mounds of earth and vegetable matter or in decayed trees. The ant family contains more than 4500 described species, widely distributed in temperate and tropical countries. The ant body consists of head, thorax, and abdomen, with the abdomen articulated to the thorax by means of an abdominal pedicel, or stalk.

Extractions: different Digital Grey Images. ABSTRACT: Some recent studies have pointed that, the self-organization of neurons into brain-like structures, and the self-organization of ants into a swarm are similar in many respects. If possible to implement, these features could lead to important developments in pattern recognition systems, where perceptive capabilities can emerge and evolve from the interaction of many simple local rules. The principle of the method is inspired by the work of Chialvo and Millonas who developed the first numerical simulation in which swarm cognitive map formation could be explained. From this point, an extended model is presented in order to deal with digital image habitats, in which artificial ants could be able to react to the environment and perceive it. Evolution of pheromone fields point that artificial ant colonies could react and adapt appropriately to any type of digital habitat.

Holldobler and Wilson, 1990 Biogeographic Regions: neotropical native Eciton burchelli are terrestrial, although colonies may occasionally bivouac (temporarily nest) in trees several meters above ground. Army ants need very humid, warm climates. Although they may venture out to forage in open or agricultural areas, they prefer heavily forested environments. Akre, 1968 Franks, 1982 Holldobler and Wilson, 1990 These animals are found in the following types of habitat: agricultural Eciton burchelli are polymorphic, which means that individuals vary in size. Worker sizes range from 3mm to 12mm. They have long, pointed, falcate (hook-shaped) mandibles. Long legs on an elongated body that may appear almost spider-like. On their feet are tarsal hooks, which they use to grip each other as they form bridges and the bivouac. They range from a deep golden color to a dull brown. Workers have single faceted compound eyes, double segmented waists, and a well developed sting.

Oi and Philip G. Koehler Imported fire ants are aggressive, reddish brown to black ants that are 1/8 to 1/4 in long. They construct nests which are often visible as dome-shaped mounds of soil, sometimes as large as 3 feet across and 1 1/2 feet in height ( Plate 111 ). In sandy soils, mounds are flatter and less visible. Fire ants usually build mounds in sunny, open areas such as lawns, pastures, cultivated fields, and meadows, but they are not restricted to these areas. Mounds or nests may be located in rotting logs, around trees and stumps, under pavement and buildings, and occasionally indoors. When their nests are disturbed, numerous fire ants will quickly run out of the mound and attack any intruder. These ants are notorious for their painful, burning sting that results in a pustule and intense itching, which may persist for 10 days. Infections may occur if pustules are broken. Some people have allergic reactions to fire ant stings that range from rashes and swelling to paralysis, or anaphylactic shock. In rare instances, severe allergic reactions cause death.

Atta
Leafcutting ants. Atta cephalotes. by Jim Wetterer. I have studied leaf-cutting ants for more than ten years, working mostly at La Selva Biological Station
http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/atta.html

Extractions: As you might expect, many leaf-cutting ants cut the leaves of trees. Here, workers of one type of leaf-cutting ant called Atta cephalotes cut the leaf of a grapefruit tree. Workers of different size do different jobs. While the larger workers cut the leaf, the smaller workers guard them against attack by flies. As in all ants, the workers are all female. When the larger worker finishes cutting a leaf fragment, smaller workers climb onto the leaf fragment to guard the larger worker. Leaf-cutting ants can carry loads weighing up to twelve times their own weight. Usually, they carry loads only two to four times their own weight. Leaf-cutters often cut leaves fifty to one hundred meters away from their nest. Each round-trip to a tree may take an ant several hours. Back at the nest, the ants do not eat the leaf fragments. Instead, smaller workers cut the leaves into small pieces which they use as fertilizer for growing a fungus that they use for food.

Woodpecker Grease ant is a name commonly used for one of the smallest ants found in homes in Iowa. These ants are technically known as thief ants. They are very small; only l to l.5 mm (1/16th inch)long. They are smooth and shiny and may be yellow to light or dark brown. Indoors, these ants nest in cracks and crevices of walls and cabinets, under floors and behind baseboards. The nests are frequently difficult to locate since the ants travel great distances in search of food. Though they will eat almost anything, these ants prefer to eat grease, fats and meats. Grease ants form a trail from the food to the nest and the moving columns of ants can be located with careful inspection. These ants are very persistent and may be difficult to control. Ready-to-use insecticides applied into cracks and crevices in the vicinity of the nest may be effective, though re-appearance of the ants after a week to 10 days is common. Better control success has been reported when ant bait is used.
Carpenter Ants

Extractions: Entomology Now is the time of year many will be noticing carpenter ants in the home. These "large, black ants" are very abundant in Iowa and a common household pest. See pamphlet IC-411, "Carpenter Ants and Their Control" for drawings and details. Ants found indoors during spring or summer could be invaders wandering in from outdoors or they may be foragers from a nest in the wall or ceiling. While there is no easy way to tell the source, it does pay to check carefully before making any treatment. If you determine the carpenter ants are coming from outdoors, see last year's newsletter for information on controlling carpenter ants in trees (HHPN, May 26, 1995, page 78). Carpenter ant control can be a do-it-yourself project or a job for a professional pest control operator. Shop around and compare prices and services when selecting a pest control service. Homeowners are limited to ready-to-use, household liquid or dust insecticides. Liquids include aerosol or hand-pump-dispenser residual products called "ant and roach killer" or something similar. Dust insecticides contain boric acid (for example, "Roach-Prufe"." See "Household Insect Pest Management" pamphlet, IC-472 for more information on using insecticides in the house. Locating the source of carpenter ants is as important and as it is difficult. The best suggestion is to spend time observing ants to see if you can detect a pattern of movement. In spring and summer carpenter ants are more active at night and observations after sunset, with a flashlight on the outside and inside of the house may give an indication of the source.
