Seite 2 von 4 1 2 3 4 | | | | Ants can form permanent nests or be nomadic. They are highly organized and have a social stratification system (caste system), with each insect performing a particular task. Several million ants can live in a colony. Most of these are infertile females and are workers or soldiers with duties both outside and inside the nest.
Only the queen ant can produce eggs. The males - like the young queens – have wings, and their only task is to... | | |
| | The larvae of velvet ants live parasitically in the nests of Aculeata, where they consume both the larvae of the hosts, as well as their food (nectar and pollen). Adult velvet ants are active from May to October in different habitats. In midsummer, they are often encountered en masse. | | |
| | | Gasteruption | | Gasteruption is a genus in the order Hymenoptera, the suborder wasps, ants and bees (Apocrita), the superfamily Evanioidea, the family Gasteruptiidae, and the subfamily Gasteruptiinae.

| | Excretions of other insects (honeydew of lice), nectar, seeds, fruit or pollen, in addition to many parts of plants also form part of their diet. Driver ants prey on other insects and animals. Some species are scavengers and feed on the excreta of other insects. Others collect seeds, grow mushrooms or dig tunnels into the nests of other insects to steal their breeds and to feed on them. | | |
| | Camponotus ligniperda | | Camponotus ligniperda in the order Hymenoptera belong to the family Formicidae, the subfamily Formicinae, the tribe Camponotini, and the genus Carpenter ants (Camponotus). Camponotus ligniperda are one of the largest species in Central Europe. Queens reach body lengths of 16 to 18 mm , workers, 6-14 mm , and males 8-12 mm. Their entire body is shiny. The abdomen is mostly black. The legs, Mesosoma ... | | |
| | Camponotus ligniperda prefer warm and dry habitats. They live in deciduous forests, mixed forests and grasslands with shrubs. They feed on honeydew from aphids and on the sweet and juicy parts of plants. They also prey on other creatures. The area in which these ants forage for food has a radius of about 40 metres. | | |
| | Insectivores are natural enemies of the Black garden ant. A colony of ants may comprise 500 insects, including the queen. | | |
| | The females lay their eggs in spring, on the underside of the leaves of the food plants of their larvae, on birch or elm, for example. The eggs are deposited in groups of 30 - 50. The females care for their brood by sitting on the eggs and fasting in order to stay and defend them against potential attackers such as ants, spiders, beetles, parasitic wasps and other enemies. Even after the larvae (nymphs) have hatched from their eggs, the mothers remain on guard. The survival rate of the nymphs is therefore almost 100%. | | |
| | ... in water. A number of species hunt on the water surface.
Birds pose the biggest threat to spiders. However amphibians, reptiles and bats also eat spiders. Some spider species feed exclusively on other spiders. Other natural enemies are: wasps, ants, true dragonflies, small-headed flies, Nematodes and Acarina. | | |
