Text Appearing Before Image:
Even the frozen eggs, larvae and pupse subsequently developed in anormal manner. When the temperature was raised to 30° C. (86° F.)the ants began to-show signs of discomfort, at 35° C. (96° F.) thesmallest individuals swooned, and even the most vigorous ants withwhich she experimented succumbed after two minutes exposure to50° C. (122° F.). It has been known for some time that female antscan go without food for the greater part of the year while they arefounding their colonies. Miss Fielde has demonstrated that largeworkers can fast for almost equally long periods. She succeeded inkeeping F. sitbscricca and Camponotus americanus workers alive with-out food for from 7 to 9 months. Ants are also able to endure longsubmergence in cool or cold water. Miss Fielde found that Lasiuslatipes survived 27 hours of this treatment; C. pennsylvanicus, 70hours, and Aphcenogaster fitlia eight days! This explains how antsthat sometimes nest in the beds of streams, like the Texan Pogonomyr- ANTS.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fin. 49. Adult worker larv.T, semipupne, and nude and covered pupa? in variousstages of pigmentation of Formica subscricca. X 2. (Pliotograph by J. G. Hubhardand 1 >r. < i. S. Strong.) THE DI-rELOPMIiXT OF ANTS. 85 inc.v barbatns, can survive a flood of several clays duration. She didnot test the resistance of ants to drought, but that this is considerablein many species is shown by the rich ant-fauna of many deserts likethe Sahara and the deserts of the Southwestern States and northernMexico. Miss Fielde also found that ants exhibit considerable resist-ance to the action of very violent poisons such as corrosive subli-mate, potassium cyanide and carbolic acid. Their tenacity is bestshown, however, in the number of days they are able to live aftersevere maiming, like decapitation. Janet (1898(7, p. 130) kept a be-headed F. rufa alive for 19 days, and Miss Fielde kept a beheadedworker of C. pcunsylranicus alive for 41 days. And this ant walkedabout to within two days of its death
