Oecophylla Smaragdina

Oecophylla smaragdina (common names include Asian weaver ant, weaver ant, green ant, green tree ant, semut rangrang, semut kerangga, and orange gaster) is a species of arboreal ant found in tropical Asia and Australia. Weaver ants live in trees (they are obligately arboreal) and are known for their unique nest-building behavior where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. Weaver ants prey on small insects and supplement their diet with carbohydrate-rich honeydew excreted by small insects (Hemiptera). Weaver ant workers exhibit a clear bimodal size distribution, with almost no overlap between the size of the minor and major workers. Workers and major workers are mostly coloured orange. The major workers are approximately 8-10 mm (0.31-0.39 in) in length and the minors are approximately half the length of the majors. Major workers forage, defend, maintain, and expand the colony whereas minor workers tend to stay within the nests where they care for the brood and 'milk' scale insec

    Trichomyrmex Destructor - Destructive Trailing Ant - Animal India

    Trichomyrmex destructor is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Its common names include destructive trailing ant or Singapore ant. It is a pest species in urban areas, known for causing costly damage to structures, vehicles, and electronic devices with its chewing activity. This is a "tramp ant," an invasive ant species that easily becomes established and dominant in new habitats due to traits such as aggression toward other ant species, little aggression toward members of its own species, efficient recruitment, and large colony size. As a tramp ant, it spreads throughout the world via human transport systems, particularly shipping. It is present in or has been reported from many countries and islands in Asia, Africa, Australasia and other Pacific islands, the West Indies, North, Central, and South America, and Europe. Here, a group of destructive trailing ants (Trichomyrmex destructor) attack and kill an earthworm, then cut it into pieces and take it away to the ant nest to eat in Tehatta, West Ben
