They are however a challenge to maintain. The smaller workers make up the bulk of the colony and do most of the work in the colony including taking care of the brood and queen. 93: 551-595. In seasonal climates such as northern Thailand colonies produce alates only once a year, but in climates thatare constantly warm such as Malaysia, colonies are said to produce alates every three months.

Carebara diversa (common name East Indian harvesting ant),[1][3] is a species of marauder ant widely distributed throughout Asia. In mature colonies these hunting swarms can be 10,000 plus strong and resemble the famous army ants of the Amazon, attacking and consuming anything edible in their path. Emery, 1893e: 212 (q.m. In northern Thailand, there is a distinct cool season where night temperatures regularly fall to 10 - 15C. The scarcity of information may be due to the cryptic nature of species, tiny body size, and the difficulty in collecting these ants requiring leaf litter sifting and the use of Berlese funnels for extraction.

Feeding fauna and foraging habits of tiger beetles found in agro-ecosystems in Western Ghats, India. While the major workers most important tasks are chopping and transportation of larger prey and the defence of foraging trails and the nest, the main function of phragmotic workers is blocking nest entrances against intrusion of other predatory ants and invertebrates (Hlldobler and Wilson 1990).

Large prey or excess food is frequently concealed with earthen covers, probably to help protect the ants and their food from other predators, but also allowthem to carry on dissecting any larger prey during the day. This rest period seems to invigorate the colonies and once the temperatures are raised again and more food fed, they will frequently raise a brood of alates. Indigenized conservation and biodiversity maintenance on Orchid Island. New Delhi: Zoological Survey of India, iv + 518 pp. Ant diversity in Nong Tha Yu Arboretum, Si Racha District, Chon Buri Province. When the larger majors go out on the trails it is common for several of the smaller workers to hitch a lift and climb onto their backs as they go along. Scientia Silvae Sinicae28: 561-564. Is this a queen. Keeping a cover over the colonys container allows the humidity to build up and regular sprays with a fine mist sprayer will quickly bring humidity levels up. Insecta Mundi 1: 221-230. Hence, more ecological and taxonomic studies in these areas are needed in order to better understand the evolution and biology of this interesting and diverse genus. 5: 121-130. Perhaps the best known member of what was formerly known as Pheidologeton, this species is commonly found in open and disturbed habitats, e.g. One syntype worker major and one syntype worker minor in Oxford University Museum of Natural History. List of Chinese insects Vol. One study showed that 94% of individuals failed to cross an obstacle in the foraging path and that eventually the column creates a detour around such obstructions.

Due to their raids, Carebara species are often compared to army ants, but there are some important differences: Carebara species have been described as very aggressive when hunting or defending their nest, but there are contradictory reports about how they react to other ant species: Generally, Carebara species are said to avoid fights with other ant species (a keeper has reported he almost lost his colony to a Lasius niger invasion and watched Carebara evading smaller Pheidole pieli, but a keeper who intentionally kept C. diversa with a Crematogaster species in the same terrarium reported that Carebara workers had attacked and killed Crematogaster workers.

The Asian marauder ant (Carebara diversa) is from the family Formicidae. ; and of a different color, being reddish or yellowish brown instead of dark brown. In mature colonies these hunting swarms can be 10,000 plus strong and resemble the famous army ants of the Amazon, attacking and consuming anything edible in their path. Sistemtica y diversidad de las hormigas neotropicales. Barden, P. 2017. 2014, and Azorsa and Fisher in revision) all of the synonymized genera were morphologically poorly delimited from Carebara and thus treated as polyphyletic units. There also seems to be a lot of unidentified species of what would be considered to be part of the old Pheidologeton genus, and indeed antwiki notes that literature usually feature C. diversa as a species complex. This may not seem very deep but taking into consideration that the smaller workers are only 2 mm its quite an achievement.

These will act as food storage buffers absorbing food in times of plenty and slowly releasing it back into the colony at a steady rate ensuring a steady flow of food is always present.
