Impact Extinction of Weaver Ants in Nature

Side-Green.Com - Impact Extinction of Weaver Ants in Nature - Habitat native weaver ants are in the trees, both in forests, plantations, and in the settlement. Weaver ants nest in a low tree, until the very tall tree, on the grass, cocoa trees, orange, mango, acacia, laban, and teak trees.

Insect habitat that has a high level of intelligence can be found in tropical areas such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, India, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, Africa, Burundi, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Cameroon, Tanzania, and some other countries located in the continent of Africa and Asia Pacific.

Tropical climates, there the weaver ants can breed well, at a temperature range of 26 to 34 degrees Celsius, with a humidity of about 62 to 92 percent. In Indonesia, the population very much, it was about 5 years ago and in previous years, but now the population is very poor and there is virtually extinct.

When the weaver ant population is abundant in nature, unconscious, has provided benefit to humans. How not? Many trees or plants that can grow well and provide benefits for humans, because avoid crop pests.

Benefits of weaver ants evident when the Bogor Botanical Garden was saved from attack caterpillars, which are frontal attack almost the entire territory of Indonesia in Novenber 2010 to June 2011.

Without realizing it, the importance of weaver ant populations in nature around us in helped to preserve the plants. The weaver ant egg hunters, led to a drastic decline in the natural population, regardless of weaver ants sustainability.

Weaver ant eggs can be profitable for hunters, because the price is very expensive, as bird feed. But the damage is very severe in nature due to the disappearance of the weaver ant populations, many fruit crop failure due to a caterpillar and other pests. Many hardwood plants that die from infected caterpillars. Many plantations (citrus and cocoa) crop failure due to pests.

The disappearance of weaver ant populations around us lead to increased of plants pest populations, such as beetles and caterpillars fruit.
