Home Ants Bees Beetles ... Home Argentine Ants 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 . . . HABITATS 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.

Home Ants Bees Beetles ... Home Army Ants What eats every animal in its path, raids other ant colonies, and migrates to find more food? An army ant colony! Army ants are amazing creatures! Not only have they founded nests, developed a social hierarchy, and migrated to other areas, but they also have a very interesting life cycle and colony structure. TAXONOMY Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropada Class: Insecta Family: Formicidae Genus: Eciton Species: Eciton burchelli NESTS HIERARCHY MIGRATION Because of their large colony size, army ants migrate in order to find food. They may raid other colonies and capture slaves . During the nomadic phase, army ants march at night and stop to camp in daylight. The colony starts its stationary phase when the need for food decreases. Then they make temporary nests, and change the nest everyday. Each of these rampages lasts for about seventeen days. Some say that army ants may have a collective intelligence Army ants kill and eat up to 100,000 animals in a day. Together they can kill lizards, snakes, chickens, pigs, goats, scorpions, and many other animals. They also climb trees and eat birds plus insects that may live in trees. DESCRIPTION Like many other insects, the body of an army ant has a head, thorax and abdomen. The head has a mouth, eyes and antennae. The mouth has two jaws called mandibles that are like scissors. Still, army ants can only swallow liquids because the solids form a ball that the ant spits out. Unlike other ants, army ants do not have compound eyes, but instead have single eyes (but they are still blind). Army ants use their antennae to sense smell and touch. This is how they know which colony and nest they belong to. They use their antennae to communicate as well. The thorax is connected to the head by joints called nodes. The thorax is between the head and abdomen. It is connected to the abdomen by a narrow waist called the petiole. The abdomen is in the shape of an oval. That is where the stomach, large intestine, sting, etc. are located.

Facts What is a Carpenter Ant? (1/4" - 1/2" long) Nesting in damp locations, carpenter ants prefer to excavate wood that has been damaged by water. From their nests in the beams, floors or walls, they scavenge the house for food crumbs and insects. Carpenter ants may occur in several colors, although the most important species are black. One of the largest members of the ant family, carpenter ants take their name from their habit of chewing passageways (called "galleries") inside wood. They live in these galleries and make excursions, most often at night, to hunt for food and water. These ants often set up satellite colonies inside homes from parent colonies located outside in a tree or landscape timber. Where You'll Find Carpenter Ants A clean house is no guarantee. When carpenter ants move in, the first thing they do is look for food. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood. They search for syrup, honey, jelly, meat, fruit, grease, fat, and other domestic foods. If these favorites are not available in your home, the ants will feed on dead or living insects or any other type of organic matter. To construct their galleries, carpenter ants tear bits of wood and place them outside the nest. These sawdust-looking piles, called frass, may be the first visible sign that carpenter ants are present. Left unchecked for a period of time, these galleries can become quite large. While the primary nest is found in damp wood, carpenter ants establish many satellite colonies. This makes them difficult to control, especially since colonies may be found in any dark void- hollow curtain rods, hollow-core doors, ceilings, dead wall space, etc.

Ants (Formicidae) You might be surprised that ants belong to this group of flying insects. Several times a year though the ants do actually fly. The animals that take off are males and young queens. After impregnation which takes place hight up in the air the males die and the queens try to find a place to start a new colony. The ants you normally see, hurrying from who-knows-where to who-wants-to-know-where are workers. These never get wings. In most European gardens you will see the (Common) Black Ant (also known as Slave Ant or Silky Ant in the USA). It is a close relative of the well known Red Wood Ant. To the left: probably a winged queen of the Southern (or Red) Wood Ant (Formica rufa). To the right: Even the Black Ant (Formica fusca) develops winged specimens. Closely related to the Black Ant is the Yellow Meadow Ant, often simply referred to as Yellow Ant. It too forms large colonies, but it prefers grass in which it makes small heaps. It leaves mainly underground and is seldom seen running about in the garden like the Black Ant. This is most probably the Yellow Meadow Ant (Lasius flavus).

Guest book Sawflies, Wasps, Bees and Ants Order Hymenoptera This page contains pictures and information for Sawflies, Bees, Wasps and Ants that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. A cluster of bees rested on grass stem during the late afternoon. The insect order Hymenoptera includes sawflies, wasps, bees and ants. The name Hymenoptera means 'membrane wings'. Their adults have two pair of membranous wings with the forewings lager than the hind wings. The main defining characteristic of Hymenoptera is that the front and hind wings are held together by a series of little hooks called hamuli. The female insects have strings to inject venom to their enemy where the string is their modified ovipositor. Most insects in this order have a waist that separates the thorax and abdomen. On their head they have two large compound eyes and mandibulate mouthparts. Their antenna is medium in length and usually strongly elbowed. Most larvae in this order are maggot-like and with no legs. However, the Sawflies larvae look like caterpillars and sometimes mistaken as butterflies or moths larvae. The insects in this order developed in complete metamorphosis.

Sponsored by: Scope of the Workshop Swarm intelligence is a relatively novel discipline interested in the study of self-organizing processes in Nature and human artifacts. Researchers in ethology and animal behavior have proposed many models to explain interesting aspects of social insect behavior such as self-organization and shape-formation. Recently, algorithms inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult computational problems. An example of particularly successful research direction in swarm intelligence is ant colony optimization , which focuses on discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been applied successfully to a large number of difficult discrete optimization problems including the traveling salesman, the quadratic assignment, scheduling, vehicle routing, etc., as well as to routing in telecommunication networks. Another example of interesting research direction is swarm robotics , where the focus is on applying swarm intelligence techniques to the control of large groups of cooperating autonomous robots. The ANTS 2004 workshop will give researchers in both real and artificial swarm intelligence the opportunity to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current developments and applications.

Top Ten Most Visited Web sites Carpenter Ants by Barb Ogg, Ph.D., Extension Educator Printable Carpenter ants are important in the balance of nature because they burrow and nest in dead trees and enhance decay of the wood. They achieve pest status when a colony invades and damages the integrity of the wood within a house. This fact sheet will explain how the biology and behavior of carpenter ants relate to control strategies when a homeowner is faced with this problem. Description and Habits: The black carpenter ant, Camponotus pennsylvanicus , is the most common carpenter ant species in Nebraska. Foraging workers are 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch and black in color. Another species, the rust-colored carpenter ant, Camponotus ferrugineus , is a bit smaller and has a reddish-orange thorax with a black head and abdomen. The most diagnostic characteristic of all carpenter ants is they have a one-segmented pedicel (the segment between the thorax and the abdomen). The profile of the thorax is evenly rounded and not bumpy. Most carpenter ant workers are polymorphic—which means they are different sizes. Entomologist refer to larger workers as "major" workers and the smaller workers as "minor" workers. Each colony has at least one "queen," the reproductive member that produces all additional members of the colony. There may be more than one queen in a colony.

Ant Information Return to previous page Phylum , Arthropoda; Class , Insecta; Order , Hymenoptera Identifying Features Appearance (Morphology) The body of an ant is clearly divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the gaster. (The narrow waist is actually within the abdomen, so the part of the abdomen behind the waist is called the gaster.) The waist can be made up of one or two small segments, depending on the species. Ants are social insects living in colonies comprised of one or a few queens, and many workers. The queen generally stays deep and safe within a nest. Most ants that you see are workers and these are all females. Depending on species, workers may be similar in size, or come in a range of sizes. Ants tend to come in dark or earth tones. Different species are black, earth-tone reds, pale tans, and basic browns. Caveat: Ants are very diverse and it is difficult to generalize about them. Therefore, if ants you collect don't quite fit these generalizations, consult such books as The Ants Adult Males and Females When ant colonies reproduce, the
