The red harvester ant is a large ant that lives in the dry, scrubby land of the southwestern United States. Its nests are dug underground, and the bare patches around them are easy to spot in open grassland. It matters because these ants gather seeds and help spread plants across the land.1

Anaishi

Native to the Southwestern United States1

Amerika Kaskazini

Nyumbani

Prefers dry chaparral and open, arid areas. Nests are underground, up to 2.5 m deep, in exposed ground. In grassland such as ranches, the bare mounds make colonies very easy to see.1

Urefu

5 mm hadi 7 mm (0.2 in hadi 0.3 in)1

Kasi ya juu

takriban km 0.16 kwa saa (maili 0.1 kwa saa)

Nchi kavu, makadirio

Hula nini?

Seeds are the main food. Workers grind them into a bread-like paste with their large mandibles and store it in a granary, so the colony has food all year. Dead insects are also collected while foraging.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Large ant, about 5 to 7 mm long1
Mound is flat and broad, up to 100 mm high and 300 to 1,200 mm across1
Bare ground with no plants, and small pebbles around the tunnel entrance1
Three to eight trails lead out from the mound, like arms1
Seed hulls are often scattered around the nest1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Red harvester ants are often mistaken for fire ants. They are not closely related to any fire ant species, native or introduced.1

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

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

Some queens have been known to live up to 30 years in the wild.1

Colonies have no central control. They adjust how much they forage using feedback from returning ants, which can take only seconds.1

Rival Novomessor cockerelli ants block nest entrances with sand and small rocks, delaying the red harvester ants' activity by one to three hours.1

Seeds are stored in the nest for months, and sometimes several years, so the colony has food during lean times.1

The plants benefit too. Ants carry seeds while foraging, which spreads the plants over a wider area.1

Ant foraging is guided by chemical signals, and foragers can travel up to 50 to 60 m from the nest.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Red harvester ants are fire ants.

Ukweli: They are often mistaken for fire ants but are not closely related to any fire ant species.1
