A flock of auklets exhibit swarm behaviour. Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic. [1]
Meat ant nest swarming Winged ants in Finland. Nuptial flight is an important phase in the reproduction of most ant, termite, and some bee species. [1] It is also observed in some fly species, such as Rhamphomyia longicauda.
Colonies of real army ants always have only one queen, while some other ant species can have several queens. The queen is dichthadiigyne (a blind ant with large gaster) but may sometimes possess vestigial eyes. [5] The queens of army ants are unique in that they do not have wings, have an enlarged gaster size and an extended cylindrical abdomen ...
After mating in the flight, female ants land to form new colonies, but the male ants are left behind to die. A swarm of flying ants descended on Boston on Monday. Here's what it was

Eciton burchellii raids move as a loose swarm over the leaf litter. This allows for smaller prey to take shelter in the crevices of the leaf litter to hide from the oncoming ants. Since numerous insects and other small prey can escape the swarm, the frequent raids of the ants do not completely deplete an area's prey reserves.
At midnight last night Geoffrey passed away and is with Peter. God took my 'knight in shining armor' gently." Deuel's brother, Peter, who used the professional name Peter Duel, famously played ...
The ants, though, lack compound eyes, are pale in colour, and lead a subterranean life, preying on small litter organisms. The workers have unusual, elongated mandibles, distinctly basal in their features. [2] Based on the morphology, the authors suggested the ants lead an underground life, possibly foraging on the surface during the night.
