The most common species of ants, common ants in China

Here's the answer.

At present, there are four main types of ants commonly found in China's living rooms. (1) The small yellow ant is small in size, the body length of the worker ant is only about a millimeter, it is found in all parts of the country, and it often nests and inhabits in the kitchen, under the debris pile of the closed balcony and the gap in the wall, etc., and the harm is widespread. (2) Big-headed ant is one of the important harmful ant species in Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China, which generally nests in the corners of outdoor foundation walls and invades buildings to steal food.

3) Rockwell ants are widely distributed in China, often nesting on roadsides, in corners and cracks in walls, and invading indoor stealing. (4) Stink ants are distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southern China, and nest in outdoor trunks or roots, and sometimes can invade indoor harm.

Ants belong to the class Hymenoptera, Apocrita, Formicoidea, and now belong to the Vespoidea, called Formicidea. There are many species of ants, there are about 15,000 species in the world, and there are 7 subfamilies and 70 genera known in China, with at least 800 species.

The small yellow house ant is small, with an average body length of 2 mm, pale yellow or orange-yellow, and there are three poles in the group: female, male and worker.

It is mostly active in groups, not afraid of light, and likes to eat dizzy and sweet food.

The antennae of the little yellow ant are particularly developed, distinguishing between friend and foe and discerning directions, and it is also a compass to guide actions.

He has a very mixed diet, prefers fat and meat food, and sometimes harms the cargo in the cabin and spreads germs.

Under the condition of 25 27 at room temperature, the development of worker ants from eggs to adults takes about 37 (31 42) days, and the development period of males and females is about 40 days, and the relative humidity is 80% at a suitable temperature, and it takes more than a month to complete the life cycle.

Female: 6 mm long, light reddish-brown. The head, thorax and abdomen are scattered with erect reddish hairs. The posterior margin of each abdominal segment has a narrow yellowish-brown band.

Worker ants: 2 body lengths, head, thorax and ventral stalk light chestnut brown, shiny, scattered erect reddish fine hairs. There are fine wrinkles at the base of the dorsal plate of the posterior thorax and on the sides of the abdomen and behind it. The head is oval. The antennae are long, and the stalk nodes 1 2 exceed the top of the head. The compound eye is particularly large.

Soldier ant: 4 body length, dark brown, shiny, fine hairs similar to that of females, but denser. The head is short with slightly thicker longitudinal thin stripes, and the stripes at the ends of the lateral lobes of the head are reticulated.

The ant can nest not only outdoors, but also indoors or in the corners of buildings, stealing food and biting humans.

Workers. Worker ants have a brownish-yellow body and look dull, and they like to build nests on the side of the road or near the corner of a wall, and they can also be easily seen in places such as kitchens.

Black ants. Black ants are mainly distributed in Taiwan, the whole body is black or black-brown, black ants generally live in tree cavities and other places, and black ants are easy to find food.

Ants are also known as "Xuanju", "Grasshopper", and "Zhuangyuanzi". Ants are small and ordinary social insects. In terms of classification, ants belong to the phylum Arthropods, Insecta, Hymenoptera, and Ant Family, and it has the most species and the largest survival in the insect kingdom.

Its origins can be traced back to the age of the dinosaurs 100 million years ago, when the ancestors of ants flourished on Earth. With the changes in the earth's ecological environment, the huge dinosaurs have long been extinct, and the small ants have survived and multiplied to this day by relying on collective strength and tenacious vitality in the natural world of the weak and the strong, and have formed a thriving ant kingdom.

1. Little Yellow Ants: The size of small yellow ants is very small, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find the existence of small yellow ants, but in fact, they are often found in the family kitchen or balcony and other places. Little yellow ants will bite human **, especially children's skin, so if there are small yellow ants in the house, they should be eliminated as soon as possible.

2. Big-headed ants: The head of the big-headed ant is larger than the body, so it is named the big-headed ant, and the big-headed ant will also infest the building, so if the big-headed ant is found near the building, they should be eliminated as soon as possible.

3. Worker ants: The body of worker ants is brownish-yellow, which looks dull and dull, and worker ants like to build nests on the side of the road or in the corner of the wall, and they are also easy to see in the kitchen and other places.

4. Black ants: Black ants are mainly distributed in Taiwan, the whole body is black or black-brown, black ants generally survive in tree holes and other places, and black ants are easy to find food.

Ants are the most common insects on Earth and are the most abundant class of insects. Since all kinds of ants are social groups, they were commonly called "ants" in ancient times. According to the modern scientific classification of morphology, ants belong to the class of bees.

Ants can live anywhere they can live, and they are the most resilient creatures in the world to natural disasters. It is a polymorphic social insect. It is estimated that there are about 11,700 known species of ants in the world.

A larger ant fauna study is pending. There are more than 600 species of ants identified in China.

Common ants in China include brown and yellow house ants, Chinese small house ants, wide-knotted big-headed ants, rhombic knot big-headed ants, yellow-haired ants, black-haired ants, bright hairy ants, Ji's sour ants and paving ants. Ants are found in residential homes, hotels, shops, canteens, hospitals and the environment. Ants are one of the three major social insects.

Ant colonies have a tight organization and a certain collective division of labor. Worker ants, soldier ants, queen ants, and male ants perform their duties, and work closely together in an orderly manner.
