The red wood ant is a large forest ant that builds big, dome-shaped nests of twigs, grass and pine needles. It lives across much of Europe and northern Asia, from Scandinavia and Great Britain to Lake Baikal. It is special because its colonies can be huge and have several queens, and it can spray formic acid from its abdomen to defend itself.1

Ihlala
Eurasia: from middle Scandinavia and Great Britain to northern Iberia, Anatolia and Lake Baikal1
I-Yurophu, I-Asia
Ekhaya
Boreal woodland, usually in clearings where sunlight reaches the nest. Nests are built against rotting stumps and are large, visible mounds made of grass, twigs or conifer needles.1
Ubude
4.5 mm kuya ku-9 mm (0.2 in kuya ku-0.4 in)1
Ijubane eliphezulu
cishe 0.16 km/h (0.1 mph)
Emhlabathini, isiqagela nje
Sidlani?
Its main food is honeydew from aphids, a sugary liquid. It also hunts insects and arachnids and scavenges, and it forages along trails up to 100 m long.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Head and thorax (front body) are red, while the abdomen (rear) is brownish-black.1
  • Usually has dark patches on the head and the upper part of the thorax, though some individuals are more uniformly reddish.1
  • Workers measure 4.5 to 9 mm long and have large mandibles (jaws).1
  • Builds large, conspicuous dome-shaped mounds in woodland clearings.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Closely related wood ants are hard to separate by eye. Under magnification, the amount of hair is a key clue: this species is hairier than Formica polyctena but less hairy than Formica lugubris.1

Amandla obuthi

Siyafafaza noma sikhafula

Sifafaza noma sikhafulela uketshezi oluhlabayo kulabo abasihlaselayo.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Senzani uma sesabile?

When threatened, workers spray formic acid from their abdomens and defend the nest by guarding entrances and patrolling nearby areas.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

Sikhulu kangakanani?

Amaqiniso

1

Formic acid was first extracted in 1671 by the English naturalist John Ray, who distilled a large number of crushed ants of this species.1

2

Wood ants raid the nests of other ants and insects, and some species take captured young back to their own colony as workers.1

3

Some colonies are huge networks of connected nests, and some of these nests can be several metres high and wide.1

4

Wood ants collect resin from conifer trees and use it in their nests for structure, protection and antimicrobial defence.1

5

A large colony may have 100,000 to 400,000 workers and 100 queens.1

6

Forestry uses this species, which is introduced into an area as a form of pest management.1
