progress. A city that holds close accord is the one whose members fulfill their roles adequately. Johnson, in his work “The Myth of the Ant Queen,” describes how ant colonies live in self-organized systems, and how this could apply to the human society. The word “Queen” associated with ant colonies means a leader in the human race, but it has an entirely…

well. Here are 10 animals that eat termites. Red-Headed Woodpecker The classic portralyel of a woodpecker pecking away at trees is more than just a cliche. In all acutailty they are busily searching for a variety of pest ssuch as beetle larvae, ants and termites. Red-headded qwoodpeckers are epscially known for their preferance of termites. Egyptian goose (Alopochen Aegyptiacus). During the spring season young winged termites emerg from their main nest, flying in large swmars in the…

Swarm behavior is one of the main characteristics of different colonies of social insects (bees, wasps, ants, termites). This type of behavior is first and foremost characterized by autonomy, distributed functioning and self-organizing. Swarm Intelligence, SI, is considered to be the area of Artificial Intelligence that is based on studying actions of individuals in various decentralized systems~\cite{bonabeau1999}. However, there is still today big discrepancy between two schools of thought in…

its family, which could be a hole in a tree or the ground. Some solitary wasps build small nests from mud and pebbles which they stick together with their saliva. The Wasp, its Sting and Kent Pest Control The wasp is a relation of the bee and the ant. Its sting can cause tremendous pain but it does have black and yellow stripes to serve as a warning to animals and humans, so…

Amongst the flying insects, bees are also closely related to wasps and ants, known for their ability to pollinate and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the super family, Apoidea and are presently considered a clade, called Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants. Some…

together. They have just begun to cross the street when they first see it. The younger of them points, though the thing has already caught her sister's attention. "Look!" It is stiff and flattened on the road, ripped open grotesquely for all to see. Ants have started to form scurried lines around it, eager to taste the flesh. A few flies disperse as the girls move closer to the object. They exchange no words; the image before them conveys all there is to notice. Still, the younger sister stares…

and went to timeout in my room. One summer morning we had gotten bikes and were riding them around the dirt road behind the building. We found a red ant mound and as young, destructive children we didn't really think through the whole if you put your back tire on the mound and send it and the thousands of fire ants flying. Especially pissed off fire ants at two young…

for descriptive science or hypothesis testing. An ant has been examined under the microscope and it has been found that this type of ants has the main parts the head, thorax, and abdomen. All six legs is branches from the thorax part. Ants usually classified depending on the number of nodes, the part that connects the thorax to the abdomen, there is one-node ants and two-node ants. The body of the ant is mostly empty and ( you can see through it). Ants also have small hair that covers their…

as an individual, but being important when becoming a part of a bigger whole/society. Thomas uses a very critical and bitter tone to express that an ant are like humans, even if we deny the reality that our society are alike ants. Lewis Thomas connects an ant colony at a gallery as a body experiencing torment.Lewis’s experience with 2 million ants dying are exactly the same feelings with 2 million humans dying “twinges of sympathy, and something else” the idea that he feels something within…

comprises the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Over 150,000 species are recognized (Janke 2), with many more remaining to be described. Many factors have led to this order’s success, through the development of wings, their immense range of behavioral adaptation, and namely: their highly complex ways of self-defense, mainly those of the biochemical and morphological nature. From the famous “cow-killer” to the range of stings of the Vespidae, to the venom of harvester ants such as the…
