And do not say, black ants do not fall in any part of us!
They kidnap the children of Akhter.
The black ants of this 'Ponnin' tribe can give us the ability to steal children!
The black ants we see in urban areas like Calcutta are actually their 'Tuto Bhai'. Black ants, but a little bigger in appearance. 1 centimeter in length Although in the city, there are more tracts of land in India than in rural areas. Their scientific name- 'Diakama Indicam'
What do they do, know?
Without making any response, they went into silence after leaving the scent of liver (ferromine) in their other ants or colonies. After that, the baby comes from the ants (pupes) stolen from their colonies. And the children who were stolen from other colonies became adult (adult), then they began to serve as slaves in their settlements. Those stolen children feed the ants, do not wear them. Even after growing up, they do not even eat. Rather, they work on their daily living arrangements. Good to say, wages in the wages! The mantra is to give us shelter for our homestead. Do all your work, do everything If you get hungry, get it yourself and get it, eat it. The black ants in India's rural country do not do any 'investment' -a children who have stolen from another settlement or an infant when they are adults, they do not have any 'investment'.
The way black ants stole children from other settlements ('hunting' with red circle)
The evidence of the practice of black robbery theft or bad behavior was first found in the study of veterinary scientists in Kolkata. Associate Professor Sumna Anagiri of Mohanpur's 'Indian Institute of Science Education and Research' (IISER or 'Eisar-Calcutta') is headed by the researcher. There are also Vishwaroop Palo of Banganati.
Their research paper has been published in the International Science-Journal 'Plus-One' at the end of February. The title of the paper- "Tricks of the Trade: Mechanism of Braud Thought in an Ant".
Before that, the bad habit of stealing children from other settlements was found in some species of black ants of Europe and America. But they all stolen children from another species of ants.
But the Kolkata-based veterans have observed that these black ants of steam children in the countries of tropical countries like India have stolen from their own colonies.
How did researchers test?
The main researcher Sumna Anagiri reports that they have carried out two tests for two years in two steps.
First, they put a little distance in the 9 centimeter diameter petri dish, and the diabetic two-colonies of the diabetic Indicemic ants.
Secondly, they also experimented with two settlements of those species in the surrounding environment. That means, keeping an eye on the behavior of those ants naturally, they also looked at the artificial environment of the ants. (There are at least 100 ants on a large scale.) What researchers have seen?
According to Sumona, they mainly take three strategies to steal children of other settlements.
First, looking at the pre-find, no colony is a little messy. Ants Colony are rugged, mainly due to two reasons. If that colony needs to be removed elsewhere. Or fix the homes, move away. After seeing the kidnappers of the ants, the other colonies have become messy, then they understand that, this time they have come to Mauka in front of the child stealer.
Two, there is only a short period of time for the kidnappers to enter another colony. If you have more time then it is difficult. Will be caught. A special type of chemical is made in the body, and the smell of each species of the ants differs. So the other colonies can get the smell of abusive ants that can be found in the colony's ants. If so, defeat! Only the abductors will be thrown out of their colonies by the necklace and the ants will be thrown out of their colonies. For those who do not get the help, they do not have to go to another colony more than 10 to 15 seconds, kidnapped ant Not only that, researchers have found that the smell of kidnappers is far less than others. As a result, the possibility of being caught in the other colony is also less likely to be detected, kidnappers on the ants.

Three, the abductors enter into another colony and there are few children's ants in the colony, which is a little less noticeable due to the absence of homeless settlement. Or the big ants of that colony are scattered. The abductors targeted at the least eye children to steal (basically those who fall under the house) targeting the abductors.
Four, the total number of ants in a settlement, 4 percent of them are kidnapped.
Five, one kidnapped ant can steal 25/28 children from another settlement once a day.

Humans should be really amazed on how the ants society works, and learns from it, right?
Hope these ant species can be continually preserved.

yes thanks

welcome and good day.
