The green weaver ant is a tree-dwelling ant that builds its nests by stitching leaves together with silk. It lives in the warm, wet forests of tropical Asia and northern Australia. It has a painful bite and can spray irritant chemicals, so it is best watched from a distance.1

首页
It is arboreal, so it lives in the leaves of trees in humid tropical regions. Colonies can have several nests in one tree or spread across neighbouring trees. People may meet it in fruit and nut trees, and on crops such as coconut, cocoa, coffee and citrus.1

怎样认出它

  • Workers and major workers are mostly orange.1
  • Workers are 5–7 mm long.1
  • Major workers are 8–10 mm long, with long, strong legs and large mandibles.1
  • Queens are 20–25 mm long and normally greenish-brown.1
  • Nests are made of leaves stitched together with silk, often high in the canopy.1

毒液之力

会喷或会吐

它会向攻击者喷射刺激性液体。

它的毒液会造成什么？

The ant does not sting. Its bite is painful, and it can also secrete irritant chemicals from its abdomen.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

The ants are aggressive towards people. In Sri Lanka, protecting coffee crops with these ants was abandoned because picking the crop proved too painful.1

它害怕时会做什么？

When threatened, workers gather in local clusters against intruders, and if the threat continues, the colony mobilises in larger numbers.1

如果它喷到你

  • 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。
  • 如果它喷到你：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

Weaver ants build leaf nests by teamwork. Workers pull leaf edges together, and others use larvae like living shuttles to make silk that binds the leaves.1

2

A single colony can reach up to half a million individuals, and one colony was recorded occupying 151 nests across 12 trees.1

3

Some jumping spiders mimic these ants with chemical scents to enter their nests and eat the larvae.1

4

In Thailand and the Philippines, the larvae and pupae are eaten, and are said to taste creamy, sour and lemony.1

5

The oldest written record of using these ants for pest control is from China in 304 CE, where they protected citrus.1

6

In Java, Indonesia, the larvae and pupae, called kroto, are harvested as food for songbirds and as fishing bait.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： Green weaver ants sting like bees or wasps.

真相： They do not sting. Their bite can be painful, and they can spray irritant chemicals from the abdomen.1
