Green ant belongs to Hymenoptera Formicidae, which is widely distributed in China. It is not only a beneficial insect in the forest, but also a good edible insect and medicinal insect. As early as more than 3,000 years ago, there was a record that the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty ate ants, which was of great benefit to treating diseases, keeping fit and prolonging life. Larvae of Dendrolimus punctatus, pine sawfly, Dendrolimus punctatus, Larch striped moth and Picea crassifolia are the main pests on larch leaves and cones, but ants can prey on these pests and play an important role in protecting forests. Ants themselves are rich in protein, which is necessary for human body. There are many vitamins, trace elements, especially high content of zinc, and formic acid, which is difficult to synthesize artificially. It has anti-aging, anti-rheumatism and anti-tumor effects. Therefore, the study of red-bellied ants, also known as wood ants, likes to disperse in shallow underground nests.
In this remote forest of Switzerland, a passage as long as 100 km connects all communities. Arnold Med, a biologist at the University of Lausanne, uses satellite technology for research. He used the Global Positioning System (GPS) to record the relationship between ant nests and drew the most organized and peaceful super community society in the world. After years of tracking, biologists have learned the whole situation.
