    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

              Animal India - Heteropoda Venatoria

              Huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria) are a species of large spiders in the family Sparassidae, found in warm and tropical areas of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas. They are named for their speed and hunting mode. Native to tropical regions of the world, their common names include giant crab spider and cane spider. Huntsman spiders use venom to immobilize prey and are known to inflict serious defensive bites on humans. The female Huntsman produces a flat, oval egg sac of white papery silk, laying up to 200 eggs. During this period, the female can be quite aggressive and will rear up in a defensive display if provoked. Huntsman spider bites can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and sometimes even heart palpitations. A female Huntsman spider was observed carrying its egg sac under its body in a corner and door of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 01/06/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
