Bundesrat of Germany. The German Bundesrat (literally Federal Council; pronounced [ËbÊndÉsÊaËt]) is a legislative body that represents the sixteen LÃ¤nder (federated states) of Germany at the national level. The Bundesrat meets at the former Prussian House of Lords in Berlin.
Carpenter ants are the largest of the house-infesting ants. Workers within the colony range in size from about 3/16 to 5/8 inches in length. Color varies among species, although black seems to be predominant. Carpenter ants, like termites, tend to prefer wood that is partially decayed by wood rot.
The ant that averages the largest for the mean size of the whole colony is Dinoponera gigantea, averaging up to 3.3 cm (11â4 in). Another ant that is native to Australia, Myrmecia brevinoda, workers are reported to be 3.7 cm (1.5 in) on average and queens are more than 4 cm (1.6 in) in length.
