Lamellidens-group fishhook ants

Lamellidens-group fishhook ants

Polyrhachis lamellidens

A species of Golden-tailed spiny ant

This striking species navigates its terrain with six slender legs and is adorned with a distinctive metallic sheen. Its life begins within silken cocoons spun by larvae, emerging as adults contributing to a complex social structure. Their diet morphs from primarily liquid nourishment as larvae to solid food upon reaching adulthood, enhancing their role in local ecosystems through diligent foraging and biological pest control.

Habitat Preferences of Lamellidens-group fishhook ants Through Different Life Stages
To locate the larvae of lamellidens-group fishhook ants, you should search the well-structured nests often found in soil, under decaying wood or within the cavities of trees. These nests are typically constructed in sheltered, moisture-rich environments. For the pupae, they are generally found in the same habitats as larvae, given that lamellidens-group fishhook ants undergoes complete metamorphosis within the security of their colony's nest. Adult lamellidens-group fishhook ants, being active foragers, are frequently encountered in various terrestrial habitats ranging from forest floors to grasslands, where they scavenge for food or tend to their aphid herds for honeydew. Each stage of development requires a careful search within these respective locales, with attention to the colony's particular nesting preference and foraging behavior for the adults.

How and Where Can You Find Lamellidens-group fishhook ants at Different Life Stages
Larva Lamellidens-group fishhook ants larvae are typically found in the nest and are being cared for by the workers. To find them, locate a lamellidens-group fishhook ants nest entrance, which is often a small mound of dirt or an opening in the ground or wood, and carefully excavate the topsoil.
Pupal Lamellidens-group fishhook ants pupae are also located inside the nest. They are usually in a dedicated chamber or area where larvae mature. Observation and non-intrusive examination of a lamellidens-group fishhook ants nest can reveal their pupal stage without disturbing the colony.
Adult Lamellidens-group fishhook ants adults can be found foraging for food or on the move during colony relocation. Follow a trail of foraging lamellidens-group fishhook ants to trace them back to their nest, or put out bait such as sweet liquids to attract foraging workers.

Are Lamellidens-group fishhook ants harmful to humans?

Different kinds of ants cause different troubles to humans. To be sure, compared with other dangerous creatures, common ants are very harmful to humans, and most of them just gather in the courtyard or room to disturb human life.
But there are some dangerous groups. They have strong jaws and sting needles and can bite or sting when under stress. Usually, ants only cause physical damage and the pain caused by formic acid. These discomforts do not even need to be dealt with, and can be recovered quickly. But there are still very few ant stings that can cause allergies and even death. Other ants can pollute the environment, destroy buildings, affect harvests and even spread diseases.
