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

Sihlala

Native to the Southwestern United States1

uMntla Melika

Ekhaya

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

Ubude

5 mm ukuya ku-7 mm (0,2 in ukuya ku-0,3 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,16 km/h (0,1 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

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

Indlela yokusiqaphela

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

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Red harvester ants are often mistaken for fire ants. They are not closely related to any fire ant species, native or introduced.1

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

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

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Red harvester ants are fire ants.

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