In the world of insects, time moves at a very different pace. Some creatures flutter briefly into existence, while others build their legacies over decades. Let’s dive into the fascinating lives of insects, exploring how long they live, whether they sleep, and their survival strategies.
In this article, we’ll explore the findings of a unique experiment where three ant species interacted with a simple apple slice. The study was conducted by the Ants Documentary team, with valuable support from Antstore in Berlin, Germany.
In the world of Camponotus nicobarensis, each day brings new challenges and mysteries. From their impressive nesting behavior to their dynamic social structure, these ants provide an endless source of fascination for entomologists and nature lovers alike. So, the next time you spot an ant scurrying along, remember—there’s a whole world of complex behaviors just beneath the surface.
Tetraponera rufonigra, also known as the bicolored tree ant, are native to South and Southeast Asia. They can be found from Indonesia to India. These ants have carved out a unique niche in both natural and human-influenced environments.
When we think about Earth’s biodiversity, insects take center stage. In fact, they account for 55% of all biodiversity—including plants, fungi, and even ocean life—and an impressive 85% of all animal diversity. Among insects, ants hold a particularly fascinating place, thriving in nearly every ecosystem on Earth. Despite their ubiquity, their evolutionary history remains something of an enigma. Compared to the 200 years of dinosaur research, ant paleontology is a relatively young field, just about 50 years old. Let’s explore what we know so far about the evolutionary journey of ants.
Ants inhabit almost every corner of our planet. Beneath forests, savannas, and even urban landscapes, these real architects construct intricate anthills and subterranean cities that sustain entire colonies. Let’s explore the diverse habitats ants create, from towering domes to colonized trees.
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Israel have found that ants are better at working together to move a large object through a maze than humans when placed in similar situations.
In this article we will review how ants cure themselves and how they treat injuries according to recent studies.
In this article, we’ll talk about the most common predators of ants. This list is not exhaustive, but it highlights the fascinating dynamics and relentless challenges ants face in their quest for survival.
Antstore Berlin is embarking on an exciting series of experiments aimed at capturing the almost inaudible sounds of ant footsteps.
