A SITE FOR ANT ENTHUSIASTS
Ant Gallery
This is the ant gallery showcasing diverse species of ants from around the world. We've included a photograph of each ant and a fun fact.
Weaver ants (oecophylla)
The weaver ant uses silk from their larvae and uses each other as bridges to grab a hold of leaves
Spiny ants (polyrhachis ammon)
The spiny ants have a lush coat of gold and silver hairs covering their entire body. They are very vibrant colours like green, blue, grey, brown, black and gold. They are also a type of weaver ant.
Trap Jaw ants (Odontomachus)
The hairs on their mandibles act as tripwires and when triggered would clamp down. The Trap Jaw ant can move its mandibles at 220 KM/h and can open its mandibles at 180 degrees.
Leaf Cutter Ants (Atta and Acromyrmex)
The leaf cuter ants cut leafs and cover them in their saliva that stimulates fungal growth which acts as their ownly food source.
