The blue ant is a metallic blue-green wasp, not an ant, that lives in south and southeast Australia. Its female is wingless and hunts mole crickets to feed its young. It is a useful pollinator of native Australian flowers.1

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

Xibaar

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

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: The blue ant is an ant.

Dëgg: 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
