The recent hit "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is praised as a work of conscience, and the article "Do desert army ants in Ghost Blowing the Lantern Really Eat People?" gives a detailed introduction to the army ants, and as a This is the first time I have seen ants that are so harmful. Although army ants are scary, they are not the largest ants in the world. Let’s introduce the largest ants in the world. The largest ant in the world, the bull ant (3.7 cm)

If you want to talk about the largest ant in the world, it must be the bull ant. Bull ants mainly live in Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. Workers of this rare ant species measure 3.7 centimeters. Some people may think that 3.7 centimeters is very small, compared to "The World's Largest Scorpion" and "The World's Largest Insect". But don't forget, it's just an ant. Because the male ant has a long upper jaw, it is considered the largest ant in the world, but it is not very bulky. Survive independently

As an ancient ant species, the bull ant, the largest ant in the world, is an independent predator. It does not cooperate when hunting, and the community relationship is very simple. Bull ants cannot eat solid food. Adult ants live by sucking the juices from their prey, and the meat of the prey is used to feed their larvae. Usually they eat eggs laid by worker ants.

Unlike the largest ants in the world, there are generally four types of members in an ant colony with a clear division of labor:

The queen ant, also called the ant emperor, is the leader of the clan and is responsible for When laying eggs and reproducing, there is usually only one in a group, which is extremely large and difficult to move, and is served by worker ants.

Male ants mate exclusively with the queen and die immediately after mating. There are dozens or hundreds in a group, depending on the size of the colony.

Worker ants are the main members of the ant colony and are responsible for foraging for food, raising young ants, serving the queen, moving and cleaning, and other chores.

Soldier ants are larger in size and have well-developed jaws. They are the defenders of the ant colony and are responsible for the safety of the ant colony. If foreign ants invade or compete for food, they will fight to the death. 2. The smallest ant in the world

Apart from the largest ant in the world, the thief ant is the smallest ant in the world. The thief ant is named after it steals the grain sown near the ant nest. Thief ants are also called grease ants because they are attracted to grease. Thief ants are native to the United States and are common in the central and eastern United States. The largest ants in the world are mainly found in Australia.

The adult body length of thief ants is about 0.3~0.5mm. The largest ant in the world is several times that of thief ants. In addition, the thief ant's antennae have 10 segments. The thief ants have small venomous stingers on their rectangular abdomen, which sting and itch. They have small eyes on both sides of their heads and have poor vision. The body of thief ants is light yellow or brown, and newly emerged thief ants are light yellow or white. Thief ant worker ants have large jaws that can carry food back to the nest and defend the nest. 3. Army Ants

In entomology, army ants refer to a variety of ants that forage in colonies and have no fixed nests. They belong to three families of the Formicidae: Army Antinae, which originated in Africa; The two-segmented army ant subfamily originated in Asia and the wandering subfamily originated in the Americas. The most powerful army ant in the world is the West African army ant. Its colony size can reach 2 million to 20 million. The queen can lay 4 million eggs in a month, and the foraging army sets out in columns. At that time, it stretched for nearly a hundred meters.

After research, it was found that 90% of the food of Wilson's army ants is insects.

Because the movement speed of army ants is really too slow. The marching speed of Wei's army of army ants is 20 meters per hour. Are you still afraid of such a slow speed? Army ants are not as scary as described in Ghost Blowing Lantern, because although they are numerous, There are many, but the moving speed is too slow, and it is not lethal to humans with sound legs and other fast-moving animals.
