Dintlha

1

Despite its name and wingless body, the blue ant is a wasp, not an ant.1

2

Unlike most thynnid wasps, which attack beetle larvae, the blue ant hunts only mole crickets for its young.1

3

Adult blue ants pollinate several native Australian flowers while feeding on nectar.1

4

It is a solitary, parasitic wasp, meaning each female works alone and her larva feeds on another animal.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: The blue ant is an ant.

Nnete: It is a species of flower wasp in the family Thynnidae.1

The female lays a single egg on a paralysed mole cricket, so the larva has food ready when it hatches.1
