Ants suicide
Scientists
from more than one country that some members of termites commit suicide
protect Their secret and through the development of an explosive filled with
viscous fluid Sam on the body and then detonated amid members ants
attacker.
The scientists said toxic liquid containers are heavier the older members of the ants.
He
guessed researchers under the direction of Jean Hopotnik of academic
art of Sciences in Prague in their study published by the journal
"Pro Sidndz" of the American Academy of Sciences on Thursday that ants
older who is doing the job due to lower power teeth and dropped their
effectiveness in the search for food for the squadron, which makes
"elders "ants serving Their secret this way.
The
researchers found "bags explosive" on the back of ants of the genus
"Nyukibratermas Tarqua" and said that these bags are present in the part
that connects the issued ants Bmakhrth It can be identified well on
these bags through the blue in some ants, and white for others.
The
researchers found that when exposed to the ants to attack by another
ant species of "Abiotirmes to Abralas", "blue ants" be more aggressive
in responding where this ant bite in the beginning and then called his
cargo explosive and die because of it.
The researchers found that the liquid in blue bags are more effective than the liquid in white bags.
The researchers likely that the older ants develop this weapon and be ready to use.
Other
studies have shown that this liquid is composed of special glands under
the skin of ants and it does not become fully effective only if mixed
with the liquid found in the saliva of ants.
