What are the benefits of ants and what are they used for?

Ants: (It's not easy) because there are so many kinds of ants, they are the most abundant insect species. There are more than 600 species of ants that have been identified in China alone.

Among them, the "notorious" termites are the big pests, and the well-known "embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the anthill!" "Mainly termites, termites also destroy trees and wood products.

There are more than a dozen species of ants commonly found indoors, which is also with the rapid development of urban construction, which has changed the original living conditions of ants, making them gradually adapt to the densely built and densely populated urban environment, and often invade the inside of buildings to forage and cause harm. Although the hazards of different ants have their own characteristics, the queen ant generally lives deep in the burrow to reproduce, and the main harm caused by the worker ants go out of the burrow to find food.

The hazards of ants can be summarized as biting the human body, spreading germs, polluting the environment, and damaging buildings.

It is mainly manifested in two aspects: one is the direct economic loss caused by food damage and pollution, and the other is the indirect loss caused by the spread of various diseases and endangering human health.

It can be seen that it is unscientific and unreasonable to simply judge whether an ant is "beneficial" or "harmful" based on a certain kind of food eaten by a certain kind of ant, and it cannot be said that a certain ant is beneficial to humans just because it has a certain medicinal effect, and it should be analyzed in detail.

The little black ants we often see outdoors are also an important link in the biological chain in which we live, and the food waste, debris, dead insect corpses, etc., which we discard, if there is no further digestion by ants and other insects, the environment we live in will soon become rancid.

Edible ants have great medicinal value, ant preparations can ** hepatitis B, diabetes, rheumatism, kidney disease, asthma and many more

1. Medicinal, the medicinal value of ants is extremely high, the effect is very wide, the drink made of ants and wine can play a role in skin care, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, asthma, sedation, pain relief and so on.

2. Pets, some ants can be kept at home as pets. Keeping ants is not the same as keeping pets in general, ants are a complete social community, a miniature version of society.

3. Edible, ants can be soaked in wine and drunk.

There are many roles for ants, including the following:

1.Ants are nature's scavengers, and they are able to clean up garbage, food scraps, etc., from the environment.

2.Ants can promote soil aeration, provide a suitable environment for microorganisms to grow, and contribute to soil fertility and plant growth.

3.Ants can promote pollination and seed dispersal of plants, which plays an important role in the stability of ecosystems and the maintenance of biodiversity and shelter.

4.Some ants can also prey on pests and have the role of natural enemies, which is conducive to maintaining ecological balance in the state.

In conclusion, the role of ants in nature is very important, and their presence is essential for the ecological balance and biodiversity maintenance in nature.

1. From a macro point of view, ants play an important role in the material cycle of the ecosystem.

2. From a microscopic point of view, it enriches the gene pool of species.

3. Ants can eliminate pests and promote agricultural production.

4. Some ant species can be developed into medicinal materials and food.

5. Use the mimicry of ants for machinery, military, etc.

6. The use of ant foraging paths can be used for human transportation construction.

Ant (ant) is an insect, phylum Arthropod, Insecta, Hymenoptera, Ant family. There are many species of ants, there are more than 11,700 species known in the world, there are 21 subfamilies and 283 genera, and there are more than 600 species of ants that have been identified in China.

New species of ants that reproduce asexually have also recently been discovered. Ants have a long lifespan, ranging from a few weeks to 3-10 years for worker ants and several years or even 10 years for queens. An ant nest can grow for several years or even more than ten years in one place.

1. From a macro point of view, ants play an important role in the material cycle of the ecosystem.

2. From a microscopic point of view, it enriches the gene pool of specialized species.

3. Ants can eliminate pests, and having clumps is conducive to agricultural production.

4. Some ant species can be developed into medicinal materials and food.

5. Use the mimicry of ants for machinery, military, etc.

6. The use of ant foraging paths can be used for human transportation construction.

The antidae are 2 20 mm long, the antennae are knee-shaped, 9 10 segments, and there are 1 2 nodules at the base of the abdomen, which are the most easily identified. In social life, there is an obvious polymorphic phenomenon, and there are male ants, female ants and female worker ants with underdeveloped reproductive system in each nest (some species of worker ants, there are soldier ants with developed palate). Most species of female and male ants have wings, while worker ants and soldier ants have no wings.

Ants are omnivorous, some species prey on insects, some feed on plant seeds, and some species feed on honeydew secreted by aphids and scale insects; There are also those that specialize in mushrooms. Indoors, ants often eat the food of human sakura.
