Can a Siafu Ant (or ants) kill spiders and scorpions? Any links will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.?

Answer 1

SEE THE ATTACHED; That's about all for now. I'll leave you with the story of the Siafu Ant, a creature that we came across on one of our morning bird walks (and have since seen a bunch of times).
The Siafu (See-AH-fu) Ant is a tiny blackish bluish ant. They, like all ants, stick together in colonies. All of the worker ants are sterile, female, sisters. Now, here's where the story of the Siafu gets crazy. The ants are ridiculously vicious. They have these incredibly strong jaws, and will bite you. They don't just attack randomly, either - it's all very systematic. They will quietly climb up you, in a row, so that you might not even notice them. Then, one leader ant will send out a signal, and they'll all bite you at the same time, causing intense amounts of pain and disfigurement. Their jaws are big enough to take out whole junks of your skin. And, once their jaws lock on you, they cannot be removed. In fact, people used to use them to suture wounds. They would have the ant bite the two sides of the wounds, and then once the jaws were locked, remove the body of the ant and leave the head to hold the wound closed. These ants have been known to eat human babies, rodents, and poultry. It's not at all uncommon. Additionally, they have a special liking for eyes. They'll go for them first. Dino has on more than one occasion run into individuals who have been blinded by them. It happens especially to drunk people, who accidentaly fall down in their drunken stupor onto a colony of the little suckers. Ridiculously enough, the ants are blind. They don't have eyes - they communicate entirely through chemical signals. Perhaps that's why they go for eyes, because they're bitter. "If we can't see, no one can!" At any rate, I'll be watching where I step a bit more carefully now.

Peace,

Siafu Ant

Answer 3

Yes, siafu ants, also called driver ants and Old World Army ants, can kill spiders and scorpions. In fact, they can kill anything in their path that does not get out of their way, even an elephant. There are millions of them on the march and they kill a large mammal that can not get out of their way by asphyxiation. They crawl into the nose, mouth, and lungs of the unfortunate animal and they suffocate. The colony moves very slowly so animals generally can get out of the way and do so and are fine. They usually eat insects like spiders and scorpions and other animals, especially insects and arachnids, that aren't very fast, that is primarily what they eat.

Answer 4

Siafu kill something of their direction, different than flora and a living human. this is been shown they are going to end off an unwell, or ineffective physique, if it maintains to be interior an identical place for too long.
