Facts about bullet ants

Ants or Sidom! Of course, every person born on this earth is very familiar with this one insect, he is very well known among humans, so with his fame among humans often tell their lives in every film whose story varies. This happens because ants or colonies are unique that no other animal has.

There are many facts about them both in terms of their physicality and their character which are categorized into unique animals. Many facts can be seen from the lives of ants, and many lessons can be modeled by humans and are very good if applied to everyday human activities.

Insects that have feet 6 in number are able to attract the attention of humans and researchers to observe their daily activities. So that many scientists find the uniqueness and facts that actually occur in the ant colony itself. So in this post I will explain some facts about this large forest ant.

The facts that will be mentioned here are some discoveries in the field and matched with the findings of experts who have verified the life of ants in their daily activities. The following will explain some facts about this black ant.

Compact in attack

Indeed, if we talk about ant cohesiveness, it is not a taboo in their lives, meaning they will always work together when working, so this group activity is often adopted by humans in doing something in an effort to achieve success. However, the ant group is not only in the field of work but they will also be compact in attacking enemies or something that is deemed worthy of attack.

When you are in a group of ants that are doing activities in their activities, or your feet accidentally step on one of the ants that are in a group of ants, then each ant will automatically bite your leg simultaneously. So that it will automatically be bitten by ants spontaneously and this is done simultaneously. You will experience pain towards the attack.

Likewise, when an ant sees its prey lying in front of them or when it sees other insects that are in the colony, it will simultaneously attack simultaneously so that the prey that has been targeted will be paralyzed and will die, this activity certainly occurs with a natural nature that is in the possession of the ant without any cue or order from its leader.

Has the largest body size

The black ant that you see in this post is one of the black ants or sometimes insect researchers call it a bullet ant, this is often linked to the speed of its movement like a rifle bullet detached from its parent. But did you know that these black ants are among the top 10 ants in the world.

The body size of these ants is different from ordinary ants in general that you find around your house. Local people say this black ant is a forest ant that has a body posture that exceeds the size of other ants. In one of the observations the researchers have found bullet ants measuring 3 cm or the size of half a finger of an adult human. Therefore scientists say that bullet ants are the largest ants in the world.

These bullet ants are often found in plants that have a sweet liquid that comes out on their own at the top of a flower or on a wood sap in the form of sweet liquid.

They will come out in the nest when the weather is cold because basically they cannot stand the heat rays coming from the sun. When the weather is hot they will hide behind leaves or in nests that are made under piles of tree trunks.

These bullet ants will come out of their nests and in groups to look for food found on every tree trunk or flowering plant that is in bloom. During the summer, bullet ants rarely come out of their nests and from groups, they will carry out their activities at night.

There are still many uniqueness found in this black ant, and the fact will be mentioned later if the opportunity presents itself. Thus a brief description of bullet ants, may this article be an input of scientific insights in recognizing animal habitats around us. Thank you very much.
