Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • 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

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: 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

Akidunga

  • Osha na upoze sehemu zilizodungwa.
  • Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura.

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

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

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

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