Chapter 429 Scary marching ants!

The guide led everyone on, and reached a gully. Everyone looked down. They were all horrified, because the densely packed ants below looked hundreds of times larger than the original ant nest!

Wu Lei, Zheng Ao and others were so scared that they were about to turn around.

These ants are marching ants, the most famous ants in the Amazon basin.

They like group life, generally there are one to two million in a group. Unlike ordinary ants, they do not build nests at all. Ants belonging to the migratory genus are constantly moving, finding and eating prey from birth. This kind of mother ant has a strong forehead, and its bite force is much stronger than that of ordinary ants. When preying, they will form different attacks.

Team combat is like a professional soldier with powerful arms, that’s why it got its name. While looking for prey, the larger marching ants will stand near the marching ant army to protect the army. The attack of the marching ants will have certain benefits to the forest, and the area after the attack will become a place suitable for animals to live in.

They do not have a fixed home. They usually settle in one place for two or three weeks, and complete a generational rotation here (the ontogenesis cycle of insects from the time the egg leaves the mother to the adult sexually mature and begins to lay eggs is called a generation ), when they have almost wiped out the surrounding area, then they will spend another two to three weeks to move to the next place.

What’s interesting is that marching ants don’t send scouts around like ordinary ants, and then swarm after they get the location of their prey. They will directly form a column of tens of meters or even nearly a hundred meters to leave the nest six together, and then fan out at the front of the column to search for all the targets that can be hunted, and then move them back to the nest after dismembering them. These prey

Including insects, spiders, scorpions and centipedes, and sometimes even crabs, lizards, snakes, chicks and even certain domestic animals confined by humans will become victims.

Wang Wu pointed to the ants with interest to tell everyone: “The marching ants are the most interesting when they collectively prey on their prey. They line up in dense and regular columns when they set off, while some army ants move forward in broad horizontal formations. They are one of them. Leave the camp, branch and branch again, outflank and besiege the hunter!

All soft insects and slow-moving insects will become their mouth objects. They bite their prey into pieces so that they can be carried, and then move forward in a marching formation. When the main force advances, the forward line and two wings are soldier ants with huge jaws, and the middle is worker ants. The army advances like a raging tide. Someone has seen a 15-meter-wide army ant queue, hunting

The object will be submerged immediately 々”.

He walked closer to some of the ant colonies, pointed to the largest ant, and said: “~ Everyone, the largest is the queen. It has a big belly and has about 10-12 tentacles, and there are still some heads. Degraded eyes, but they are blind and have no vision at all; the queen can mate with multiple male ants, and by virtue of the huge abdominal cavity, they

Three or four million eggs can be laid every month. The queen ant of Zhongxingpengyue is the most important member of the ant colony. Without it, the colony cannot reproduce and grow. ”

Others looked at Wang Wu with horror, and Li Fei couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you afraid of these ants crawling on you?”

Wang Wu (did Zhaohao) smiled and said to everyone: “In many movies, literary works or folk tales, we can often see various legends about marching ants. The marching ants in the stories are often described as continuous A few kilometers come like a tide, you can wipe out the lions, tigers, and even the army in a flash, leaving only a horror of bones.

Existing, some stories say that marching ants can swallow gold and gems, just like they are hanging. Then in reality, marching ants are really so powerful and terrifying?”.
