(Oceophylla sps.) -An interesting process The Weaver ants or Oceophylla sps are arboreal ants which colonise trees and weave intricate leaf nests. They are a group of highly social insects and play a significant role in pest management and in food and medicine. In several Asian countries oil for edible use is extracted from the larvae of Oecophylla ants. Only two species are currently recorded. Oceophylla smargadina is found in the tropical areas of South Asia to the northern parts of Australia. The other species Oceophylla longinoda is found in Africa. This clip relates […]

Harmful and Beneficial aspects By Dr. Yashpal Singh, Chairman, The Wealthy Waste School India  Native to the Amazon basin in South America, the Water Hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes currently known as Pontederia crassipes, has now invaded many countries. The growth is governed by the availability of nutrients and temperature. Water Hyacinth draws all its nutrients directly from water and absorbs heavy metals, organic contaminants and nutrients from the water column. This property enables it to be used in waste water treatment and bio remediation also. The plant grows very fast, doubling in mass every 05 days […]

- [The mechanism of ‘Co-operative Transport’ of food and other objects by Ants](https://www.wealthywaste.com/the-mechanism-of-co-operative-transport-of-food-and-other-objects-by-ants): The mechanism of ‘Co-operative Transport’ of food and other objects by Ants Finding, acquiring and consuming food are inherent activities that all living organisms have to undertake for survival and propagation of species. The search for food often requires that the food item is consumed immediately or transported to a safe place for future consumption. This quick removal helps in avoiding interspecific competition. Transporting found food items is therefore an important part of foraging. In this clip we observed a Moth (Clothes Moth- Tineola bisselliella) being transported collectively by team of small black ants. It is only later that we […]
