Matabele ant

Megaponera analis
Ku saabsan magaca: The common name Matabele ant comes from the Matabele people, fierce warriors of the 1800s, because of the ant's organised raiding. The scientific name analis is Latin for 'anus-related', and it refers to the strong smell of its chemicals.1

Muxuu cunaa?
They are termite-eating ants that raid termite feeding sites, focusing on termites from the subfamily Macrotermitinae. A raid usually involves 200 to 500 ants, which break open the termites' protective layer and rush into the galleries to kill them.1

Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?

When attacked by driver ants outside the nest, they check each other's legs and antennae and remove any enemy ants clinging to them.1

Haddii uu mudo

  • Dhaq oo qabooji meelaha la muday.
  • Haddii qofku neefsashada ku dhibtoonayo, wejiga ama cunaha ay bararaan, ama uu dareemayo inuu suuxayo, waa xaalad xasaasiyadeed oo degdeg ah: wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah.

Badbaado

  • Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
  • Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
  • Haddii mid ku mudo: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.

Xaqiiqooyin

1

They are the first recorded non-human species to treat the wounds of other individuals consistently, by licking them for several minutes.1

2

Injured ants send out a chemical call for help, and nestmates carry them back to the nest. This reduces the mortality rate of injured ants from 32% to close to zero.1

3

Injured ants that have lost one or two legs adapt to walking on four or five legs and can reach running speeds similar to healthy ants.1

4

Some individuals reach up to 25 millimetres, which makes this one of the world's largest ants.1

5

Frogs of the species Phrynomantis microps are sometimes found in their nests, and these frogs produce a skin secretion that calms the ants' aggression.1

6

Scout ants lead raids from the front and lay pheromone trails, so the other ants can find their way back to the nest.1
