Dinosaur ant
The dinosaur ant is one of the rarest ants in the world. It is the only species in its genus and lives in woodland in South Australia. Scientists call it a 'living fossil' because its body is so old-fashioned.1

Akkaataa itti beekamu
- Medium-sized ant, 9.7 to 11 mm long.1
- Mandibles (jaws), clypeus (part of the 'face'), antennae and legs are pale yellow.1
- Body hairs are yellow, long and abundant on the body, and shorter on the antennae and legs.1
- Workers are strictly nocturnal, active mainly at night, and forage alone.1
Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: It shows similar features to Myrmecia and somewhat resembles weaver ants (Oecophylla). The fourth abdominal segment of Myrmecia is tubulate (tube-shaped), but in the dinosaur ant it is non-tubulated, which helps separate the two.1
Humna summii
Summiin qeensa iddii (stinger) keessaan ba'a.
Namootaaf hammam balaa qaba?
Balaa namootaaf: SalphaaAkka iddii kanniisaa ykn sanaa gadi. Namootaaf gonkumaa jechuun ni danda'ama miidhaa hin qabu.It has a long, retractable sting at the rear of the abdomen, which can give people a painful sting.1
Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?
It uses its retractable sting when threatened, and workers release chemical alarm signals.1
Yoo idde
- Bakka iddame dhiqiitii qabbaneessi.
- Yoo namichi hargansuuf rakkate, fuulli ykn qoonqoon isaa dhiite, ykn of wallaaluuf jedhe, kun balaa tasaa alarjii ti: lakkoofsa balaa tasaa bilbili.
Yeroo hunda dursa lakkoofsa balaa tasaa kee bilbili (112, 000, 911). Kun qajeelfama gargaarsa jalqabaa waliigalaa ti, gorsa yaalaa miti. Bu'uura gargaarsa jalqabaa
Nageenyaan turi
- Bineensa bosonaa gonkumaa hin tuqin, hin qabin, hin tuttuqin, xiqqaa ta'us, rafe ykn du'e fakkaatus.
- Iddoo itti kenni. Yoo tokko wajjin wal argite, tasgabbaa'i, suuta duubatti deebi'iitii karaa isaa akka deemu dhiisi.
- Yoo tokko si idde: tasgabbaa'i, sochii malee turi, lakkoofsa balaa tasaa kee (112, 000, 911) bilbili ykn dafii hospitaala ga'i. Maal akka fakkaatu yaadadhu, suuraan ni gargaara.

Dhugaawwan
Scientists regard it as the most plesiomorphic (old-fashioned) ant alive, and it is called a 'living fossil'.1
Poochera is perhaps the only town in the world that relies on ant-based tourism.1
After its first collection in 1931, it was not seen again until 1977, when it was found about 1,300 km from the original site.1
It is the only known ant species with both a sting and a 'waist', meaning it has no postpetiole between the first and second gastral segments.1
Queens have non-functional, stubby wings, while male wings are long and fully developed.1

- The queen mates with one or more males, then hunts for food while the brood develops. Eggs are subspherical and non-adhesive. Two queens may found a colony together, but only one remains after the first workers are raised.1
