Life always cleverly arranges cases of 'thinking that is not so' as to taste for our new life every day.
Among them are honey ants, like honey bees, but not honey bees, thought to be honey but . are not honey.
Strange ants with a round belly.
Belonging to the Formicidae family, honey ants live in hot and dry climates around the world . Some individuals are even recorded to live in deserts with tremendous heat.
As noted, this ant species was first discovered in Australia in 1881 by American naturalist Henry Christopher McCook. Gradually, they multiply and migrate to other areas.
Abdominal shape is the most interesting feature of this type of ant. Their abdomen is bulging, round and looks like it is full of golden transparent bile drops that like the eyes.
Like their brothers in the world of ants, honey ants also organize societies according to levels and levels, each of which has its own task.
The highest position in the herd is of course the queen ant, taking on the role of reproduction. However, it is important to know that in an ant colony, not all individuals are . secret. In an ant colony, some male ants are responsible for coordinating with the queen to create new generations.
Secret ants account for only a small part of the ant colonies.
The rest are worker ants and another small part is 'genuine' secret elements .
So what is the mission of these ants?

The 'beer belly' of these ants actually contains a lot of nutrients in liquid form . They act as food containers for the whole team.
Instead of storing food in a special compartment in the nest like other ants, honey ants bring food back and . 'lavish tonic' for the same kind. Just like that, the ants' belly can reach the size of a large grape.
In times of scarcity of food, honey ants will be responsible for providing nutrition to other members of the team.
At that time, the worker ants will only need to drag the ant's beard and they will enjoy . nutrition vomit dumps due to ants secretly released.
However, some of the Australian ants have a behavior . "good treatment" of this mobile food store. In other words, the secret ants will be torn, eaten by their own people.
After that, they will . "release" a portion of the meal and use that to 'tummy' back to their belly fat friends.
An interesting fact is that many other ants mistakenly believe that the honey nest contains honey and attack to loot.
One can catch a secret ant and put it in the mouth to chew immediately. It is possible that many people believe that this action is scary, but the abundance of nutrients in their abdomen is the reason why ants become a "delicacy" . In many parts of the world, honey ants become a very popular specialty.
