The Burchell's army ant is a tropical ant that moves in huge, organised swarms called raids. It lives in the jungles of Central and South America. Its raids are so large that many other animals, including birds, follow them to catch prey.1

Sihlala

Ekhaya

Damp, well-shaded parts of the forest, avoiding direct sunlight and high elevations. Colonies make temporary living nests in hollow logs, animal burrows in the ground, or hanging in trees.1

Ubude

3 mm ukuya ku-1,2 cm (0,1 in ukuya ku-0,5 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,19 km/h (0,12 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

Colonies go on daily or near-daily raids to capture insects and other small prey. Inbound ants carry the prey back to the colony. They also raid wasp nests and eat the larvae and pupae inside.1

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Soldier ants have much larger heads and specialised jaws for defence, and workers have a well-developed sting.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

Hlamba uze upholise iindawo ezihlatyiweyo.
Ukuba umntu uphefumla kanzima, ubuso okanye umqala wakhe uyadumba, okanye uziva ngathi uza kufa isiqaqa, yimeko kaxakeka ye-aleji: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

Workers can link their bodies to form living bridges and fill holes in the trail, so the whole colony can move faster.1

A single raid can be up to 200 metres long and use up to 200,000 ants.1

Over 500 other species live around these colonies, more than for any other single species, and over 300 are thought to depend on them.1

Colonies move their living nest, called a bivouac, almost every night, taking six to eight hours to relocate.1

Colonies can have 100,000 to 600,000 adult ants, all from one queen.1

Workers are a mix of four sizes, and genetics as well as diet affect which size an ant becomes.1
