A detailed introduction to Ants

Ants are generally considered to be despicable creatures, but if you study them closely, you will see such signs of God in ants that your intellect will be stunned. Man cannot even imagine that even in ants. There can be so much discipline. There are certain responsibilities for each type of pickets in the bill, which they perform in an efficient manner and there is no scope for disobeying orders. If the labor picks collect food. If it is to be done, there is no question that they will steal their lives from this work. If an ant finds a food store somewhere, it will not only be tempted to eat it, but will also inform the rest of the ants in its colony. Let's see how amazing and organized this small creature that we usually despise is!

An ant is a very powerful creature. It can lift fifty times its own weight. Do you know that Hafthor Björnsson set a world record by lifting 501 kilograms in the 2020 Olympic Games. This weight is about three times his weight. times more. That is (at that time) even the strongest man in the world can lift a maximum three times his weight. But you will be surprised to know that an ant can easily lift fifty times his weight and It can pull thirty times its weight. That is, if a human has this ability, a young man can easily lift an African elephant. So we can say that an ant (in terms of its size) is more powerful than a human. I am a very powerful being.

We humans use language and gestures to communicate with each other. That is, we can say that language and gestures are methods through which humans communicate with each other and these methods have been developed by humans. Each word and each sign has a different meaning that we can understand. Similarly, ants also use different ways to communicate with each other like sounds, touch and smell etc. Ants are a Most of them use smell to communicate with others. This smell is called pheromone.

For example, when an ant feels threatened, it emits a special smell to warn other ants. This smell is called pheromone. Other ants detect this smell with the help of antennae. That is, this smell means "get ready to thwart the attack of your enemy". Similarly, when an ant finds a food supply somewhere, it immediately goes to its nest and other ant. Dances to report means "I've found food in such and such a place, come with me". This means that ants use different ways to communicate with each other, and each has its own special way. Edward O. Wilson is a big name in ant research. You can call him the Imam of the ant world. He writes in his book "Tales From The Ant World" that if When an ant finds a drop of sugar, it takes it into its bill and then spits it out in front of some other ants. By using this method, it is sending a message to the ants in its colony that " I have found a store of food in such and such a place. Well done, come with me."

There are usually three types of ants in a bill. They include queen ants, worker ants, and worker ants. There is usually only one queen in a bill. The queen ant is the female and is the mother of all the other ants. I am bigger than other ants. It has only one job and that is to lay eggs. It lays fifteen hundred to two thousand eggs in a day. The interesting thing is that only the queen lays eggs while the rest of the ants do not lay eggs. would give.

The largest number of ants in the burrow are the worker ants. They are female like the queen, but they do not lay eggs. They are the most hard workers. Cleaning the burrow, protecting the queen and the burrow. Doing and arranging food are their major responsibilities. They bring food from outside and feed the queen, her children and the ants. The worker ants who perform the duties of the security guard have an interesting story. Guards the entrance of the cave. Whenever an ant enters the burrow, they smell its smell. By smelling the smell, they find out that this ant belongs to our settlement. If the smell does not match. Then it only means that that ant is not from our colony. Then she beats that ant well. Queen and male ants (male ants) stay in the burrow and only come out of the burrow to mate come out.

The third type of ants are the ants and they are male in sex. They are called ants because they are always nesting in the burrow. They don't have to do the work. Food is provided by the worker ants. They are less in number than the worker ants. Do ants have wings? The answer is yes. They are worker ants. But they don't have wings, which you may have noticed. But you might be surprised to know that ants and queens have wings. They only come out to mate, so we have a misconception that ants don't have wings.

The bill is called Khuda Hafiz to mate with ants and queen ants and the queen is accompanied by a swarm of ants. This is the last chance in the life of ants as they die shortly after mating. Later, the queen ant sweeps her wings. After mating, the queen bee usually does not return to her original burrow, but digs a small hole in the ground near where she mated, and after a few weeks, she starts laying eggs. These eggs are usually white in color and shaped like a grain of rice. During this time, they usually do not come out of the hole until the hatchlings are young enough to fend for themselves (i.e. worker ants). Sometimes, when the queen ant is very hungry, she eats some of the eggs herself.

  The queen ant usually mates once in her life, but she can lay hundreds of eggs in a day. Well, this is not digestible, but it is a fact. Actually, when an ant mates, the sperm of the male ant, that is, the male ant, is deposited in its abdomen. A sac called spermatheca stores these sperms in it. It then opens a valve to allow these sperms to enter the reproductive system. Fertilized eggs give birth to female ants (ie queen and worker ants) and these fertilized eggs give birth to male ants i.e. ants. It is not a surprising thing. What is even more surprising is that these ants He has the choice whether he wants to create a male ant from the stored sperms or a female ant, that is, he has the choice whether he wants to fertilize the eggs or unfertilize them!

Well, it is also very interesting that an ant has two stomachs. One stomach is for digesting food and the other stomach is for storing food. The stomach that stores food is called crop. When When another ant is hungry, the ant will drop the food stored in the crop in front of the hungry ant. The honeypot ant is a type of ant and its stomach is so big that it is as big as a grape seed. It stores food in it. Due to storing so much food, it is unable to move, so it sticks to the walls of the bill. Food stored in it is very useful in starvation.

You must have seen ants walking in a row. After seeing this sight, the question must come to our mind, why do they walk in a row? Actually, the sight of ants is weak. When an ant stores food somewhere. When she finds out, she goes to the other ants in her bill and does a special dance to inform them or she mixes with the other ants. Now the other ants understand what this dance means. It means "I have found food in such and such a place, come with me". After that, some ants follow him under his supervision. While walking, it rubs its abdomen on the ground and emits a smell which the other ants sense and follow.

Allah Ta'ala shows us the signs of His power, which we consider as a contemptible thing, they also live under a discipline. Just like there are many rooms in a human house. Each room is used for a different purpose. Some rooms are for sleeping, some rooms are for storing food, etc. You will see exactly the same system in an ant. (Chambers) will be seen. Some rooms are for storing food, some rooms are reserved for worker ants to sleep, some rooms are resting place for ants, and there is a special room for Nawabzadi queen ant.

According to an estimate, there are more or less 12000 species of ants in this world. Some experts believe that there are more than 20000 species of ants. Most of the species of ants are black and brown in color. However, they are red and It can also be yellow in color. Edward O. Wilson is a big name in the field of ant research. You can call him the Imam of the world of ants. He writes in his book that the number of ants on this planet is 16^10. He further writes that the total weight of ants on this planet is more than the weight of all human beings. An ant's life span can range from months to years, depending on the species of ant. According to Wikipedia, in some ant species, the queen ant can live up to 30 years. A worker ant has a maximum lifespan of 1 to 3 years, while a worker ant has a life span of only a few weeks.

There is a type of ant in the world called bullet ant. It is known that when it bites, it hurts so much that a person has been shot, which means a lot of pain. Its sting is the most painful in the world. It is considered a stinger. It is also called a 24-hour ant because the pain caused by its bite lasts for 24 hours.

There is a type of ant in the world called leaf cutter ants. They sometimes cut so many leaves from trees that sometimes 15% of the leaves are reduced. They carry these leaves in their burrows. There They don't go and eat these leaves, but they add their saliva i.e. saliva to these leaves and add fungus to it. After a few weeks, a field of fungus is produced which it eats as food. Ants in this world. There is a type of ant which is called army ant. It is very cruel. There are millions of ants in its colony. It can kill any big predator like a goat in a few minutes. You can call them nomads because they don't build homes. The largest ant species in the world is the Giant Amazonian, which can grow to over 1.5 inches in length! What is the diet of ants?
