The Social Colonies Of Ants

Bees they come in all different types, sizes, colors, and shapes. Some bees are furry all over like miniature flying “teddy bears”, while others have smooth and shiny polished metallic bodies and legs that glisten in colors of green, blue, and copper. Some are larger than the world's smallest hummingbird. While the tiniest are smaller than fruit flies, tiny specs with four wings, most do not make honey and wax or live together in nests as family groups headed by a queen (Buchmann). In the united states there are 4,000 different kinds of bees. European bee, which are the commonly seen yellow and black bumble bees more types of bees include sweat bees, mining bees, cuckoo bees, leafcutters, masons, squash, and guard bees (Buchmann). Around the world there are around 25,000 different types of bees. This huge number is divided into over 4,000 genera of bees which are subdivided into just 9 families of bees (Tucker). Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of the flower, to the stigma, which is the

As a caterpillar begins to go inside it’s chrysalis it has 4 stages where it sheds it skin.

The queen that emerges is called a virgin queen because she has not mated with any of the drones. In order to become the actual queen of the hive, the virgin queen must find other queen rivals and kill them. She may also use

All of the species except for worms had the same relative abundance. Insecta Cleopetra feed on insects. Silk

The creosote bush grasshopper has a simple body. It has a rounded head capsule which contains the compound eyes, chewing mouth parts, and the short thread-like antennae, which are always shorter than the rest of body (Estella, 2009). The middle thoracic segments and part of the abdomen are covered by a type of hard shield called a pronotum which extends from the first thoracic segment. The forewings are leathery but they are not used for flight. Instead, they protect the delicate hind wings. They also have long jumping hind legs, which enable them to leap well over 20 times their body length (Anonymous, 2015).

The Tamandua Mexicana is a medium-sized anteater with a prehensile(capable of grasping) tail, small eyes and ears, and a long snout. The anteaters can weigh from 7.1lbs to 11.9lbs. Their typical size can range from 102 to 130 centimeters. The anteaters type of symmetry is Bilateral. (which is the same on both sides) Their fur is pale over most of the body except on the upper half of the body where there is a black shaped vest.

At the beginning of the film/movie, it started with the ant colony picking and providing food for the grasshoppers. They operate by traditional agricultural labor. This film/movie shows an illustration of an economy that relies on the workers to do the labor because there is a scarcity of resources so they need to maintain the amount of food for the colony. This economy is based on a traditionalist economy. They stick to the way things have been for quite some time. There was never any thought of doing anything new because that could cause a huge amount of risk when it comes disrupting the way things have been smoothly running. The ants in the movie run/work off a rank system. Depending on their rank depends on what they do. There is the queen

Florida's 32 different species of ants are also the most common house pest, ranging from

Abdomen is semi oval shape, while the carapace is silver or white. The pattern on the top of the abdomen is black and yellow, while the underside is mottled black with two vertical, parallel yellow stripes. The adult male typically sports shades of brown and is considerably smaller than the female.

There are three types of bees in a hive; namely, the queen, worker bees and drones. There is only one queen per hive and her role is to produce more bees (4). This is done by mating with the male bees. After mating, the queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day (4). Drones are male bees and their role is to mate with the queen. Drones spend a considerable amount of time inside the hive; in addition, during early winter

Ailanthus Webworm Moths have an identifying orange, black, and white, design. When resting, they roll and tucks their wings in close to their body. They now appear to be a beetle. These moths are 0.71 to 1.18 inches in length. They have wings, antennae, and 6 legs. The scientific name for a Ailanthus Webworm Moth is Atteva Punctella.

Anteaters are edentates. Edentates are animals that do not have teeth. Anteaters do not eat apples, but they eat about 30,000 ants and terminates a day. The anteater uses its large sharp claws to rip open an anthill or termite mound. Then he uses a very long, sticky tongue to catch them. Anteaters walk on their knuckles so their long claws don’t hurt them. A baby anteater is called a pup and rides on its mom’s back for about a year. When an anteater feels threatened, it will stand on its hind legs, hold its arms out wide and show its claws. Can you stand up tall, hold out your arms and spread your fingers to make yourself as big and scary?

Cicadas are insects that belong to the superfamily Cicadoidea. There are over 190 varieties of cicadas in North America and over 3,390 varieties of cicadas in the world. While cicadas are known to be on every continent there is one continent that they don’t exist on and that is Antarctica. The largest cicada species in North America is Megatibicen auletes, which is also known as Northern Dusk Singing Cicada. There are three different types of life cycles for cicadas. There is the annual life cycle which is where cicadas emerge every year, while they emerge every year there is also the periodical life cycle where cicadas emerge every 17 years. Lastly there is the porto-periodical life cycle where they might emerge every year but every seven years they

They range in body size from only a few millimeters in length to almost five inches.

Queens emerge from fertilized eggs, and they are responsible for laying eggs and produce Queen Mandibular Pheromone. Queens are raised from worker eggs (in optimal cases), and they are made to be queens by getting fed with an extensive amount of royal jelly. The queen is ready to mate after the 25th day after emerging, and if the weather permitted it, you might find the new queen’s fertile eggs on 28th day. A queen usually lasts for about 3 years, but there are stories about queens still laying well after 7 years! There are three events which make the bees to raise a new
