Bachaco (Acromyrmex) // Subfamilia Myrmicinae #27

avatar



Greetings partners of the community of steemit, welcome again to my blog, where he can find content to the wide universe of the science, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy and the general accompanied knowledge of the scientific publication, specially greetings to the community of #steemstem.




Continuing with the work of investigation and photographic papers of the small natural world and of other spaces, Acromyrmex // Subfamilia Myrmicinae, we have the most hard-working insect organized as a small society as they are this only type of ants of his species, also it is considered to be strong plagues in some farmings, since it it is the case of the pepper since it attacks her with great frequency, they constitute the tribe Attini, known commonly as ' cutting ants of sheets. These insects are cousins of the bees, wasps and ants, they live in colonies under the soil, they continuously remove the soil to open more galleries or deposits where there stay the colonies or the rest of the family of these insects, the colonies have cameras where the new bachacos and galleries grow up where the sheets are stored.



After observing them for an hour manage to see the singular ones that are these insects, of the organized as a society, which cut the sheets, what the trasportan, when they move the sheets they do her in line always walking along the same place, creating a species of highway after so much transit, it is for it it is possible to notice in an easy way, since it is possible to discover where the bachaquero is, only it is enough to continue to the insects that move the sheets to come to his den, possesses the following one characterize you as report of his physiognomy, which this one they possess an external hard covering, the exoesqueleto or cuticle that possesses diverse functions, between them, of armor, protection before the solar radiation that's why owes to itself his color it is dark red, that at the same time serves as camouflage. It was known the following thing about this insect the fact is that it is composed, that is to say integrated his eyes by a multiple quantity of omatidios, which is typical of every species, there exist already big variety of this one species that it them makes very particular in every region that this one inhabits.




This insect is highly developed, that owes since also it possesses inside his part of the interior of the head she is occupied by the muscles that close the jaw, which makes it use her as a big tongs and scissors to cut.




Why does it do this very singular insect of the others do the winged females take a small portion of fungi in his cameras infrabucales, realize a species of sowing in the same gardens of his incipient colony his eggs, the fungi used by these ants is members of the genre Leucocoprinus, it are for them for which they live society each of them it takes his function as a part of his colony and hierarchy.



This one manages to notice these papers, that a very strong plague, intense since it infests this one it can hurt it is the elimination of the foliage, especially the most tender sprouts, which one prevents the plant from developing and being productive, as the case which documents on a plant of green pepper, farming be fixed for others the same happens, it is for it to control this plague with suitable skill that does not damage the ecosystem and in an ecological way.




This work of investigation and papers photographic was realized by the camera of my J4 of models of cellular Samsung, in the way of Hh, for @newton666.

Wonderful photos. It must have taken patience to catch the ants up close like this in such interesting poses. A while ago I wrote a couple of blogs about ants, https://steemit.com/science/@agmoore/ants-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly and https://steemit.com/science/@agmoore/the-most-dangerous-ant-in-the-world, so your blog today caught my eye. So much better when you can take your own pictures :)
Thank you for sharing them.
