怎样认出它

  • Measures 5 to 7 mm long.1
  • Metallic colour that varies by region, from green to purple or reddish-violet.1
  • Hard, heavily armoured body with a single-segmented waist.1
  • Queens and workers look similar and differ mainly in size. Males are the smallest and look black and dark.1

常被误认为： Residents of northern Queensland use the name 'green ant' for the green-tree ant (Oecophylla smaragdina), so the two can be confused by name. The name 'green-head ant' is more specific.1

如果它蜇人

  • 清洗并冷敷蜇伤处。
  • 如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实

1

Green-head ants are among the first insects to appear in burnt-off areas, arriving once the embers have stopped smouldering.1

2

Workers can reproduce with winged males, so queens are rarely produced in colonies.1

3

They are useful to farmers because they prey on agricultural pests such as beetles, moths and termites.1

4

They help plants by scattering and eating seeds from a variety of species, which plays an important role in seed dispersal.1

5

The short-beaked echidna and a number of bird species prey on them.1

6

The ant was introduced to New Zealand, where it was first seen in 1959, probably on cargoes of timber.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： The name 'green ant' always means the green-head ant.

真相： In northern Queensland, residents use the name 'green ant' for the green-tree ant, so the shortened name can cause confusion.1
