Unlike modern authors, Homer is not quick to reveal his personal beliefs; rather, they come about subtly, through the dialogue between two characters.
Harvester ant. Harvester ant is a common name for any of the species or genera of ants that collect seeds (called seed predation), or mushrooms as in the case of Euprenolepis procera, which are stored in the nest in communal chambers called granaries.
Flying Ants. Whether the winged ant you see is a carpenter ant or a termite, however, the wings mean that the insect is a reproductive male or queenâthe only members of an ant colony that can reproduce.ome carpenter ants are much larger than termites. In fact, carpenter ants are one of the largest of all ant species! But other carpenter ants are very small, so size is not a way to determine species.
