Kiam: Male Ant hmm (7. Aug 2007 19:42)

I have one male ant in my colony off L asius flavus I dont know when it was born or hatched but ive only got one and i dont think they are laying more what will the male ant do if it does not want to fly will it like help around and become some sort off stronger warrior or are they weaker than workers? Will it become like the workers and will its life be as high as workers or less ??

Male help around? Strong warrior? Lol... most likely he will be dead in two weeks if he does not fly off.

;) in deed, male ants do not live very long, in nature they have there flight and than they die. (lucky i'm not an ant. ;) )

Yes but if they dont mate can they live as long as workers have you ever seen a male ant die in like 2 weeks without mating ??

JimmyVe: (10. Aug 2007 12:36)

Yes, also if they don't mate they will die in a short period.
