Some of the ants classified as pests include the pavement ant, yellow crazy ant, sugar ants, the Pharaoh ant, carpenter ants, Argentine ant, odorous house ants, red imported fire ant, and European fire ant.

The caterpillar is then taken into the ant nest where it feeds on the ant larvae.

Some termites, including Nasutitermes corniger , form associations with certain ant species to keep away predatory ant species.

Ant is an Apache project.

Also, all the information about what will be executed by an Ant target can be found in the Ant script.

And why was the ant doing it?

This form of parasitism is seen across many ant genera, but the parasitic ant is usually a species that is closely related to its host.

Ant bites are often said to have curative properties.

One of the reasons I tell you about ants is because of my husband, who is in fact an ant taxonomist and when we got married, he promised to name an ant after me, which he did Procryptocerus nalini, a canopy ant.

The most immediately noticeable difference between Ant and Make is that Ant uses XML to describe the build process and its dependencies, whereas Make uses Makefile format.

An ant can lift more than 50 times its weight.

This is how new colonies start in most ant species.

Because Ant made it trivial to integrate JUnit tests with the build process, Ant made it easy for willing developers to adopt test driven development, and even Extreme Programming.

Other caterpillars have evolved from ant loving to ant eating these myrmecophagous caterpillars secrete a pheromone that makes the ants act as if the caterpillar is one of their own larvae.

The yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) is a species of ant, introduced accidentally to northern Australia and Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, that has wreaked ecological damage in both locations.

And I thought, These ants, are they looking for the queen ant?

Aesop did the same in his fable The Ant and the Grasshopper.

In Ant, projects do not really exist from the tool's technical perspective.

Ant works with XML build scripts defined in one or more files.

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise

Go to the ant, thou sluggard consider her ways, and be wise

When we talk about bottom up, decentralized phenomena, the ant colony is the classic metaphor, because, no individual ant knows what it's doing, but collectively ants are able to reach incredibly intelligent decisions.

Creating a similar task in Ant is more complex a separate task must be written in Java and included with the Ant build file in order to handle the same type of functionality.

Some species (such as Tetramorium caespitum ) attack and take over neighbouring ant colonies.

Any ant that enters a colony without a matching scent will be attacked.

Many Ant tasks delegate their work to external programs, either native or Java.

The simplest idea is that when an ant is in a small colony and an ant in a large colony can use the same rule, like I expect to meet another forager every three seconds.

Some species of ant are able to use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation.

A variety of methods are employed to enter the nest of the host ant.

The sugars in honeydew are a high energy food source, which many ant species collect.

The ant seizes the edges of the wound in its mandibles and locks in place.

Ant society has always fascinated humans and has been written about both humorously and seriously.

Ant (version 1.1) was officially released as a stand alone product on July 19, 2000.

It is similar to Apache Ant, but targeted at the .NET environment rather than Java.

Ant queens are estimated to live 100 times longer than solitary insects of a similar size.

If an ant is separated from its original colony, it will eventually lose the colony scent.

The parasite also alters the behaviour of the ant, causing them to carry their gasters high.

Up to half a pound (200 g) of seeds may be collected from one ant heap.

And I was working in the context of a view of ant colonies in which each ant was somehow dedicated to its task from birth and sort of performed independently of the others, knowing its place on the assembly line.

This term was fixed to Roman legionary standards, and even after the Roman Emperors achieved a state of total personal autarchy, they continued to wield their power in the name of the Senate and People of Rome.

If an ant is successful, it leaves a new trail marking the shortest route on its return.

Many ant dispersed seeds have special external structures, elaiosomes, that are sought after by ants as food.

Strepsipteran parasites also manipulate their ant host to climb grass stems, to help the parasite find mates.

When one ant touches another, it's smelling it, and it can tell, for example, whether the other ant is a nest mate because ants cover themselves and each other, through grooming, with a layer of grease, which carries a colony specific odor.

This tells Ant that before it can start the jar target it must first complete the compile target.
