Known for their remarkable feats of strength, this tiny ant has proven it's no weakling?by effortlessly picking up a caterpillar using its jaws.
螞蟻以超凡的力量而聞名,圖中這只小小的螞蟻用它的下頜不費(fèi)吹灰之力地舉起了整只毛毛蟲(chóng),完美地證明了-它,并非弱者。
The determined weaver ant bumped into the green insect while walking across a branch and decided to pick it up to move it out of the way.
這只堅(jiān)定的編織蟻在樹(shù)枝上爬行時(shí)碰到了一只綠色昆蟲(chóng),于是它決定把這大家伙從路中間挪開(kāi)舉起來(lái)。
Remarkably, it then bit the caterpillar and lifted it above its head in a 'clean and jerk' weightlifting action.
值得注意的是,它先是咬了毛毛蟲(chóng)一口,然后用了一個(gè)舉重運(yùn)動(dòng)員“挺舉”的動(dòng)作直接將毛毛蟲(chóng)舉過(guò)頭頂。
The powerful ant, which is just one centimetre long, did not appear to struggle handling the five-centimetre long insect.
別看這只充滿(mǎn)力量的螞蟻只有1公分長(zhǎng),但在對(duì)付這只5公分長(zhǎng)的毛毛蟲(chóng)時(shí)卻沒(méi)有顯現(xiàn)出任何掙扎的跡象。
Teenager Frenki Jung captured the special moment in his back garden in Sambas, Indonesia.
印度尼西亞少年法蘭基(Frenki Jung)在自己位于三發(fā)的家中后花園抓拍到了這一特殊時(shí)刻。
The 17-year-old said: 'The red ant bit the caterpillar before lifting it up above its head while walking on a branch. These ants are known for their strength and it seemed like it was doing it to test itself.'
這位17歲的少年說(shuō):這只紅螞蟻在樹(shù)上爬行時(shí)碰到了毛毛蟲(chóng),它先是叮咬毛毛蟲(chóng),然后又把它舉過(guò)頭頂。這些螞蟻以大力士出名,但它似乎也想借此證明自己。
Frenki, a student, added: 'I was amazed by what I saw - it was fascinating.'
“我被這一幕驚呆了,這太神奇了!”作為學(xué)生的法蘭基補(bǔ)充到。
Weaver ants are primarily found throughout Asia and Australia, where colonies can contain up to half a million workers.
編織蟻主要分布于亞洲和澳大利亞,在那里,它們的巢穴可以容納近五十萬(wàn)工蟻。
Due to the size of their colonies, they consume a large amount of food and continuously kill other small insects.
由于它們數(shù)量龐大,需要消耗大量的食物,所以它們不斷獵殺其他小型昆蟲(chóng)。
Because they often prey on agricultural pests, they are also used as effective bio-control agents throughout Asia and Australia.
由于它們經(jīng)常捕食農(nóng)業(yè)害蟲(chóng),在亞洲和澳大利亞,它們也常被用做有效的生防控制劑。
As the caterpillar begins curling up to protect itself, the weaver ant keeps a firm grip while a fellow worker ant climbs onto it.
當(dāng)毛毛蟲(chóng)試圖蜷縮起來(lái)以保護(hù)自己時(shí),編織蟻緊緊地咬住不放,就在此時(shí)它的同伴工蟻爬到了毛毛蟲(chóng)的身上。
Due to the size of weaver ant colonies, the workers consume a large amount of food and are continuously killing other small insects such as caterpillars.
由于編織蟻數(shù)量龐大,這些工蟻需要大量的食物補(bǔ)給,因而不斷地捕殺其他小型昆蟲(chóng),毛毛蟲(chóng)就是其一。
