Nguvu ya sumu

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The female injects venom through her stinger to paralyse a mole cricket. The paralysed cricket is then left with an egg laid on it, giving the wasp larva a ready supply of food.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When threatened, it burrows under leaves to escape, and it is not aggressive unless provoked.1

Akidunga

Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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

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

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

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: The blue ant is an ant.

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

Kwa wataalamu wa sumu

Jina la kisayansi: Diamma bicolor
Kundi: Nyuki, nyigu na mavu
Familia: Thynnidae2
Mpangilio: Hymenoptera
Mabara: Australia na Oceania
Watoto: The female lays a single egg on a paralysed mole cricket, so the larva has food ready when it hatches.1
