Leech, a first-class Chinese word, is pronounced leech (m, mā or mà), leech and ant when pronounced leech (m), common name of "dragonfly" when pronounced leech (mā), and grasshopper and locust when pronounced leech (mà).
Ants are a kind of insects and animals of Hymenoptera Formicidae. Ants are small and long, with big heads, compound eyes and long tentacles. Ants have oval bellies and various body colors, including black, white, yellow, red and brown. Among them, female ants and male ants have wings, but worker ants don't. Ants are also called Mayflies, Xuanju and Ants.
According to the classification of modern morphology, ants can be divided into ants and termites. There are many kinds of ants in grasshoppers. It is known that there are more than 9,000 species of ants in the world, and more than 600 species have been identified in China.
There are ants in almost every corner of the land except for the extremely cold areas and mountain snow lines above the second level of the earth. Ants have typical social group characteristics, including mutual cooperation to take care of larvae, clear division of labor and taking care of offspring for a period of time.
Ant nests include swimming nests, earth nests, surface nests, wooden nests, paper nests and silk nests. Ants are rich in food, which can be classified into four categories: animals, plants, honeydew and fungi. Ants usually breed in spring and summer. After the rain, a large number of winged females and males appeared in Chu Qing's nest, and their life span was very long. Worker ants can live for several weeks or 3- 10 years, and queens can live for several years or even ten years.
Social characteristics of ants
1, ants are typical social groups. There are three social factors: individuals of the same species can cooperate with each other to take care of their larvae; There is a clear division of labor; At least two generations in the ant colony overlap, and future generations can take care of the previous generation for a period of time.
2. Ants are definitely experts in architecture. There are many compartments in the ant nest, and these compartments have their own uses. The ant nest is solid, safe and comfortable, and the roads extend in all directions and are complicated. There is also a circle of soil outside the ant nest, and there are some places to store food. Ventilation is cool, warm in winter and cool in summer, and food is not easy to deteriorate.
3. Ants are also famous architects in the animal world. They dig holes in the ground with their jaws and carry sand grain by grain to build their nests. The "room" of the bird's nest will keep its original shape unless the soil is seriously dry.
