Ubuthi baso benzani?

The sting is painful and venomous. It can cause anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction, in people who are sensitive to it.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

Uma sihlaba

Geza bese upholisa izindawo ezihlatshiwe.
Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

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

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

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

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

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

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

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

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

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