Red fire ants that can stay underwater for more than 24 hours !! Just read how dangerous they can be!

Many insects, birds, and animals live in groups in nature. Very few animals will live alone. Relatively small or less powerful animals live in herds. Many names can be mentioned in the group such as flocks of birds, flocks of animals, hives of bees, swarms of bees. Living in a group not only protects from cold and rain but also protects from hunting. Look at the red ants! When you accidentally fall on them, they bite together and defend themselves. One of these red ants is the Red Fire Ants. These are found in South America. Let's look at these red fire ants in today's article. When they float on water, they come together in a very strange way and change shape like an amoeba.

The Red Fire ant is so named because the sting of this ant is as burning as if someone had put burning charcoal on your skin. This inflammation is very annoying. The skin becomes red and swollen. This red ant venom destroys your skin cells. The existence of these ants is found in South America, but now red fire ants are now spread in many countries. It is growing in dozens of countries around the world. This group of ants is called a colony. About 5 lakh ants can live together in an ant colony. Possibly all ants stay away from water. But research has shown that these mugs have a unique way of defending themselves even when they are in the water.

These ants stick to each other when they come in contact with water. All the ants stick together and start floating like a boat. Their stickiness is so strong that even if they are cut, they do not stick to each other. If an ant comes out, it does not survive. Floating on water like a boat, they attach to each other's legs and get stuck in each other. Their feet are 7-8 inches in size. As they stick to each other, they begin to float and change shape. Ants do not use their lungs to breathe. They absorb oxygen through the pores in ants' bodies. Before entering the water, the ants close the holes so that water cannot enter. It is said that these ants can survive underwater for up to 24 hours. When they are floating, they climb on a hard surface or land and defend themselves.

                             

During research in the United States, experts captured the mugs from the forest and dumped them in a water tank. They set off the camera at night to see how they survived. When I came in the morning, I saw that there was no ant in the water. Looking at the recording, it was seen that the colony of ants came together and formed an amoeba-like shape and they climbed on one side of the camera. Slowly they came to the screen and passed out of the way. They must have felt safer to climb on the camera lens than the wall next to the tank.

     

What are these tiny, simple ants going to do? You may think so. But the bite of these ants can do a lot of damage. When these ants come together, they can destroy entire farms. Can guard large animals. Even the bite of a human being is unbearable. Red fire ants are more intelligent than other insects. So they have saved themselves from a flood-like crisis. Gradually they are expanding their own existence. When they come together, they look like a smart system. Defend yourself by thinking. Surely they can resist if their world is invaded!
