Queen ant

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…

against its suppressor is established. The film Bug 's Life demonstrates Marx 's theory. In the movie Flik 's colony is being oppressed by Hopper and his gang. Hopper tells the colony that they will provide protection for them as long as the working ants provide them with food. However when Flik accidentally ruins the harvest that colony has just provided. Hopper then demands them to provide twice the food or they will no longer protect the colony. This causes a great distress within the colony…

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…

secreting their precious eggs onto dripping leaves. Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight. The breathing of monkeys. A glide of snake belly on branch. A single-file army of ants biting a mammoth tree into uniform grains and hauling it down to the dark for their ravenous queen. And, in reply, a choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life…

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…

animals and see what challenge awaits us," I stated. As we continued to walk, we found a tiny brown ant lying on the ground. "This will be straightfoward," John screams. As soon as he said that, a mob of ants filled the halls and began to suffocate us. Suddenly, the ants turned angry and started to bite us. Later, a giant ant who was presumed to be the queen ant, came out and started commanding the ants to bite all of us. "Fritz, are…

Theme: Insects Activity Name: Pattern Worms Activity category: Math, fine motor Area of room: Small table Focus of Children and Rationale: According to common core children in Ms. B’s kindergarten class must learn one to one correspondence and be able to build simple patterns. Some students enjoy building with Legos (e.g. James, Malik, and Parte). Some girls like to use Legos to build a pretend houses and color coordinate blocks together. Although, the girl’s fine motor skills are more developed…

Hot and Cold spots of selection: Parasitoid attack of fungus-growing ants Abstract: It is known that fungus-growing ants, and their integral mutualism with fungus, allowed for their exploitation of new niches; which resulted in diversified lineages. However, there may have been other factors that refined these lineages into the resulting clades and species we see today. Diapriidae wasps are extremely common in the Neotropics; and poorly understood phylogenetically and ecologically. However,…

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…

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.
