Ekhaya
It lives in Caatinga, Cerrado, upland humid forest and Atlantic forest. Nests are usually built at the base of trees, although in Atlantic forest about 60% of nests were 3 m away from any tree. Its nests are deeper than those of some related species.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Workers have a fine, textured surface that is dull rather than shiny.1
  • Workers are covered in long, hair-like bristles.1
  • Males are light brown and have long, fine hairs on the second segment of their antennae.1
  • Colonies are large, with an average of 80 workers and a range of 26 to 238.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: It is most often confused with Dinoponera mutica. Dinoponera quadriceps has a dull, finely textured surface, no striped throat and a petiole (the narrow waist segment) that bulges at its upper front edge. Dinoponera mutica has a rougher surface, a striped throat and a petiole with even, non-bulging corners.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its sting delivers venom that causes severe pain. The pain can last up to 48 hours. The venom contains many different compounds that can have wide effects on the body.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

The sting causes severe pain lasting up to 48 hours.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Workers use their sting to defend the nest.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
