Kako jo prepoznaš

  • Measures 5 to 7 mm long.1
  • Metallic colour that varies by region, from green to purple or reddish-violet.1
  • Hard, heavily armoured body with a single-segmented waist.1
  • Queens and workers look similar and differ mainly in size. Males are the smallest and look black and dark.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Residents of northern Queensland use the name 'green ant' for the green-tree ant (Oecophylla smaragdina), so the two can be confused by name. The name 'green-head ant' is more specific.1

Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

The sting is painful and venomous. It can cause anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction, in people who are sensitive to it.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

The sting can cause anaphylactic shock in sensitive people. Ordinary stings are described as painful.1

Če piči

  • Pike umij in ohladi.
  • Če ima poškodovanec težave z dihanjem, otekel obraz ali grlo ali se mu vrti, kot da bo omedlel, gre za nujno stanje zaradi alergije: pokliči številko za klic v sili.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

  • Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
  • Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
  • Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

1

Green-head ants are among the first insects to appear in burnt-off areas, arriving once the embers have stopped smouldering.1

2

Workers can reproduce with winged males, so queens are rarely produced in colonies.1

3

They are useful to farmers because they prey on agricultural pests such as beetles, moths and termites.1

4

They help plants by scattering and eating seeds from a variety of species, which plays an important role in seed dispersal.1

5

The short-beaked echidna and a number of bird species prey on them.1

6

The ant was introduced to New Zealand, where it was first seen in 1959, probably on cargoes of timber.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The name 'green ant' always means the green-head ant.

Resnica: In northern Queensland, residents use the name 'green ant' for the green-tree ant, so the shortened name can cause confusion.1
