Why can t I see ants at night?

There are also ants that come out to forage at night, but you don't see them. The reality is that 20% of the "lazy ants" instruct 80% of the industrious ants, and the biologists mark these "lazy ants" and cut off the ants' food**, and those ants who are usually very diligent are at a loss, while the "lazy ants" "stand up" and lead their friends to move to new food sources that it has already detected. Biologists took all the "lazy ants" and put them together, and as a result, 80% of the "lazy ants" became industrious ants, and 20% of the ants were still "lazy".

You say it's funny! Supplement: Ants have a relatively long lifespan, and the lifespan of individual ants is amazingly long, and some worker ants.

Can live for 7 days, queen.

The lifespan can be up to 20 years. But an outlier ant only lives for a few days. This is due to a clear division of labor within the colony and an interdependent group structure with each taking its own responsibilities.

This is a fundamental factor in its reproduction. In addition, ants can grow normally between 15 and 40, but the optimal temperature is between 25 and 35. In winter, when it is below 10, it enters hibernation (rest).

Ants are an insect that is usually active during the day, but at night it is more difficult to see ants at night due to dim light and low temperature, so it is difficult to see ants at night.

In addition, ants are very small, usually only a few millimeters long, and the light conditions in the nocturnal environment and people's visual sensitivity are not conducive to observing this small animal, so it is easier to observe ants during the day.

Termite, white ant, also known as the genus Arthropod, Insecta, Cockroach (originally Isoptera, in 2007, Isoptera was withdrawn and classified as Cockroach), similar to the social life of the ant camp, its social class is queen ant, soldier ant, worker ant.

In addition to the wood-dwelling termites do not have any direct relationship with the soil, the relationship between the wood-dwelling termites and the soil is extremely close, especially the soil-dwelling termite, without soil does not nest, can not survive without the soil, the soil-dwelling termites have strict selection of the soil. Soil is also the main component of the nest and path of terific termites.

Termites like to be nocturnal. Termites are social insects that are made up of various ranks. Termites live in the shade for long periods of time inside the nest, and most individuals are photophobic.

However, during the high incidence of termite reproduction, it is a different phenomenon. The spread and development of termite colonies are inseparable from the light environment, and winged adults have phototaxis habits when they fly away from the colony. Taiwanese milk termites and black-winged soil termites often colonize in swarms at dusk.

Recently, when I sleep at night, I am often woken up by ants, so a question arises in my mind, do ants sleep at night and how long do they sleep?

I can't sleep anyway, I really snapped, and there was an answer like this:

From the standpoint of people, the rights and obligations enjoyed by worker ants and queen ants are really unequal. But that's how the ant population survives.

Some populations have inequality engraved in their genes, and some populations have opposition to inequality engraved in their genes. In terms of survival, different populations have different approaches to survival.

I'm reminded of Adolphe Huxley's "Brave New World", in which people are born into different categories, responsible for different jobs, and through various technical means, everyone feels that the work they are doing can bring them full happiness, and the dung pickers enjoy the same happiness as the leaders.

I think the scene of "Brave New World" is a complete reality for ants.

I don't know if one day, a maverick worker ant suddenly felt that there was too much inequality between himself and the queen, and rose up to resist and set off an ant revolution. And is this revolution a disaster or a kind of progress for the ants?
