Ants-Afriendly neighbour and guide for Humanity.

The Ants are a special creation of God. There are many varieties of Ants.The most aggressive and dangerous are the red Ants commonly found everybehere.Generally,ants are friendly neighbours of humanity. Black Ants ,also known as Carpenter Ants are less aggressive and most defensive nature.They also bite when hurt.The pain and consequent inconvenience might last many hours. Carpenter Ants prefer to establish their colonies in galleries excavated from damp or damaged wood.Tgey cut galleries into wood grains to form their nests and provide passage ways for movements from section to section of their nests.This activity produces wood shavings missed with dead ants which provides clues to nesting locations.carpenter ants clean their nesting sites and their galleries are not lined with mid or moist soil.Thevworkers ants keep their galleries as clean as sandpapered wood.in In usual and natural environments theyvdwell both dead and living trees,stumps and rotting logs.However sometimes they build nests in Human houses and buildings also where wood is found especially where wood is extremely exposed to severe moisture.This is an indication how much intelligent these tiny insects.The carpenter Ant build two types of Nests.They are known as Parent colonies nests and Satellite colonies Nests.The later is a dependent colony of Parent colony. The Parent colony has a Queen ,her incumbents and workers.There may be several satellite colonies in an area.The satellite colonies consists of older Larvae and pupae.Workerscreate different satellite colonies when there is a lack of space or of foodd and water in a parent colony.This indicates how clever and hard-working they are.Besides their Unity and willingness to work as one Unit is to be highly appreciated.This is how there are several Satellite colonies under a Parent colony.This also show shows how much systematic and organized the Ants are.The ants also does not eat wood as termites do.Instead removevwood and deposit debris in small piles outside their nests.Thus the life span of Ands are spent in building nests finding food and moving from place to place and serving fellow ants helping each other.They also look for food from the left over of human beings especially sweets and meats.They also feed on smaller insects.Thus they would appear to be friendly neighbours of people. The main function of Queenis to lay eggs. In the first year a Queen lays 9 to 16 eggs.The life Span of Queen is about 25 years.The eggs complete their life cycle In about 6 to 12 weeks.Thus the Life of Ants is so Amazing that the human beings have several lessons to learn from them. The First lesson to learn from Ants is the Hard-working nature.Theyvdo their work Systematically and move on happily. If one observes the long line of Ants it could be seen that the outgoing ants allow incoming ants way and Space to move along as though the passengers of a crowded subarban train in Mumbai allow passengers to alight first before boarding a train.Perhaps the Mumbai passengers learnt this lesson from the ants!!!. There is no fight or difference of opinion among Ants. Even among Human beings who are supposed to the best of creations there are reasons for Fight,Hatred,Jealousy,intollerence whereas among Ants there are no room for such behaviour and instead are very peaceful ,orderly and happy. People have tendency to devide among themselves based on religion and Caste whereas there is no such tendency among Ants as they do not have so many different religion.Although there are so many different varieties of Ants They do not allow to recognize as such to lead to fighting among themselves. So people should learn from Ants to live peacefully and in total harmony. The message Ants provide to humanity is that if stand as one in Unity and live for each other no power in the world can harm them and continue to strive in perfection This Blog is dedicated to Ants for thier Unity and hard work as one Unit.

Carpenter ants clean their nesting sites and their galleries are not lined with mud Or moist soil.The workers ants keep their galleries as clean as sand papered wood. In usual and natural environments dwell both dead and living trees,stumps and rotting logs.However sometimes they build nests in human houses and buildings also where wood is found especially where wood is in extremely exposed to severe moisture.this is an indication how much intelligent are these tiny insects. The carpenter ants build two types of nests .they are known as Parents Colonies and satellite colonies.the later is a dependent colony of Parents colony.the Parents Colony has a Queen ,her incumbents and workers.there may be several colonies in an area.The Satellite colonies consists of older Larvae and pupae. Workers create different satellite colonies when there is lack of space or of food and water in a Parent colony.This indicates how clever, Hard working they are,.Besides,their unity and willingness to work as one unit is to be highly appreciated. This is how there are several satellite colony under a Parent colony in an area.this shows how systematic and organized the Ants are.The eggs Carpenter ants do not eat wood as termites do.Instead remove woodcand deposit debris iin small piles outside their nests.thus the life Span of Ants is spent in building nests and finding food from the Left over of people especially sweets and meats.they aso feed on small insects.Thus they would appear to be friendly neighbors of people.
