A rider wasp of some sort.

This is ichneumon


Is it the same thing? What do you mean, ichneumon is a rider wasp?

This is the name of the family of hymenoptera-true riders, or ichneumonid riders (Ichneumonidae): http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ Riders

Thanks! smile.gif

All these names sound so beautiful and unusual that it seems like some kind of alien language. shuffle.gif

This I do not know, which is probably also a butterfly.

I went to look for termite mounds and found a lot of them. smile.gif

I'm for scale.

One of these days I'll make pictures of "termite fields", but I won't have time today.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the termites themselves, although I searched and carefully examined all the towers, unfortunately - herds of fussy ants gallop everywhere and no one else. frown.gif

01.10.2011 19:28, Ele-W

Oh, yes, I found a big spider, hanging among the termites. That was the end of today's insect catch.

01.10.2011 19:30, Ele-W

Another "field" is already after sunset.

Thanks! It is a pity that termites were not seen - you need to either pick at the walls, and they can be very thick, or dig the ground at the base, where tunnels should be located. Just in case - termites are diagnosed with soldiers.

And this is not the so-called " magnetic termites "(Amitermes meridionalis) by chance?

Breaking the walls is a pity. smile.gif But you can't dig the ground there, because everything is now dry and the ground is like concrete, except for a crowbar.

What does this mean?


The easiest way to identify termites is by the signs present in soldiers. The definition of sexual individuals (winged ones) is more difficult, and for many species they are not described. Workers are usually definable only up to a genus or group of genera.

I meant that you can try to determine at least up to the gender from the soldier's photo.

At the same time, I overlooked that the very shape of termites is also diagnostic. What to do, there is no such beauty in Vietnam, i.e. termites are diverse, there are also large termite mounds, but I have not seen such a specific form.

These are ants. In fact, termite mounds often have a very diverse population. Other species of termites, ants, and other invaders can settle in the original macrotherms ' termitarium. Relationships are very different - from displacement to ignoring each other. According to Zhuzhikov (1979), some camponotus can even protect termites - these ants are indifferent to the termites living with them, but aggressive to other ants. I also had to observe (and collect) different termites and ants from the same nest - sometimes the nest chambers were practically touching. The topic is extremely interesting, but requires a long field work.

Not termites. Ants.

A spider, rather large, hung in a web between two termite mounds. The little animal will remember me for a long time, because I drove my head into this web of his, it's good that I didn't put the little animal on my face, otherwise we would both die of fright on the spot. lol.gif

Thank you, I thought so. smile.gif There were other ants, but even those I had no doubt identified as ants, and these were small and somewhat "hairy"ones.

That's what there are a lot of people in the bush, so it's a variety of ants, I just see them everywhere and always.

Awfully interesting, thank you! smile.gif

I thought that if there are ants scurrying around the entrances/exits in large numbers, then there are no termites inside, I didn't even imagine that they could get along together.

And wars or skirmishes on termite mounds (common) between different ants (black and red) I've seen it several times, but there's no way to take photos there - objects run fast and bite painfully.
