Indian jumping ant

Harpegnathos saltator
名字的由來: Its scientific name saltator means 'jumper' in Latin, given for its surprising leaps when alarmed or disturbed.1
只是會痛會痛,但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。
螞蟻 螫吃:昆蟲
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

The Indian jumping ant is a small ant found in India. It hunts alone or in small groups and can leap up to 2 cm high and 10 cm far, both to escape and to catch insects in the air. It is best left alone, because the original description says it bites and stings severely.1

牠吃什麼?
It is an active predator that hunts mainly in the early morning, and forages during the cool hours of morning and afternoon. It often seizes insects alive and catches airborne prey by leaping at it.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

The original description says it is very pugnacious and that it bites and stings very severely.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

When alarmed or disturbed, it leaps away, and it is very pugnacious, biting and stinging.1

如果牠螫人

  • 清洗並冷敷螫傷處。
  • 如果傷者呼吸困難、臉部或喉嚨腫脹,或覺得快要昏倒,這就是過敏急症:打緊急電話。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠螫了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識

1

Workers can jump up to 2 cm high and 10 cm far, using a synchronised push from their middle and hind pairs of legs.1

2

When workers become queens or gamergates, their brains become smaller.1

3

Some workers can mate and lay fertilised eggs just like the queen. These workers are called gamergates.1

4

Enzymes that slow ageing are increased when workers turn into reproductives.1

5

The nest entrance is closed by the ants in the evening and reopened during the day.1
