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

Ihlala

Tropical Asia, from India through Indonesia and the Philippines, and Northern Territory and Queensland in Australia1

I-Asia, I-Australia ne-Oceania

Ekhaya

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

Sidlani?

It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, mainly beetles, flies and hymenopterans. It also tends aphids and scale insects to feed on the honeydew they produce.1

Sifafaza noma sikhafulela uketshezi oluhlabayo kulabo abasihlaselayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.

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

Senzani uma sesabile?

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

Uma sikufafaza

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 sikufafaza: 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: Green weaver ants sting like bees or wasps.

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