legionaria?","No, aunque las tiendas suelen venderla como «Asian army ant» (hormiga legionaria asiática). Sus obreras cazan en incursiones en grupo, en largas columnas y amplios enjambres, igual que las hormigas legionarias, y pueden someter presas mucho mayores que ellas. Pero pertenece a una subfamilia distinta, y sus colonias no nacen por división en dos: una reina alada se aparea en un vuelo nupcial, pierde las alas y excava una cámara en el suelo, donde pone sus primeros huevos. Además, una colonia solo se muda a un nido nuevo de vez en cuando, con mucha menos regularidad que las hormigas legionarias verdaderamente nómadas.",{"question":247,"answer":248},"¿Carebara diversa es una depredadora o una recolectora de semillas?","Ambas cosas. En la naturaleza, cerca de la mitad de su dieta es material vegetal, como semillas, frutos secos y fruta, y el resto son presas que van desde colémbolos hasta saltamontes, escorpiones y ranas pequeñas. Los criadores observan el mismo reparto: las colonias aceptan las semillas con ganas, sobre todo en una racha seca, pero una colonia en crecimiento también come muchísimos insectos vivos o recién matados, así que nunca te limites a las semillas.",{"question":250,"answer":251},"¿Por qué las obreras pequeñas de Carebara diversa viajan sobre las grandes?","Casi todas las obreras de una colonia silvestre, que pueden ser cientos de miles, son menores, y a menudo se las ve viajando a cuestas de las grandes mayores a lo largo de los senderos de forrajeo, a veces en multitud. Se cree que esto ahorra energía a las obreras pequeñas. También muestra cómo se reparte el trabajo: las diminutas menores buscan comida, se arremolinan sobre las presas y acarrean la mayor parte de las cargas, mientras que las obreras más grandes se encargan de los trabajos pesados, como dar el mordisco aplastante a las presas grandes, retirar los escombros caídos de los senderos y transportar la cría cuando la colonia se muda.","Las obreras tienen todos los tamaños, desde diminutas menores de un marrón amarillento hasta grandes mayores de marrón rojizo a negruzco con cabezas casi cuadradas y poderosas, y la reina es mucho más grande que todas. Los criadores la confunden a menudo con la parecida Carebara affinis, y las Carebara asiáticas de este tipo no se han revisado a fondo, así que las colonias vendidas con este nombre no siempre están confirmadas a nivel de especie.","es",{},true,[257,260,263,265],{"kind":258,"text":259},"watchOut","No empieces con poco. Los criadores cuentan que las reinas solas son muy difíciles de sacar adelante y que las colonias de solo unos pocos cientos de obreras suelen prosperar los primeros meses y luego se apagan al cabo de casi un año, porque las menores, de vida corta, dejan de ser reemplazadas, así que una colonia ya establecida con mucha cría es el comienzo más seguro.",{"kind":261,"text":262},"tip","Dales un nido profundo de tierra, o una mezcla de tierra y Ytong, que se mantenga húmedo pero bien ventilado, y deja que las hormigas lo caven y lo modelen por sí mismas. Mantén al menos una cámara siempre mojada, porque una colonia reseca puede morir en un día, y hierve antes la tierra de jardín para evitar ácaros y moho.",{"kind":258,"text":264},"Las menores se cuelan por huecos que no ves, y una capa gruesa de grasa o de aceite puede ser atravesada a mordiscos y también puede dañar a las obreras más diminutas, así que confía en una construcción sin huecos y en una barrera fina y limpia. Retira los restos de comida en el plazo de un día, porque la especie es propensa a los ácaros.",{"kind":261,"text":266},"Aplica calor solo desde un lado, con un pequeño punto cálido y una zona más fresca para que las hormigas puedan elegir, y no pongas nunca una manta térmica justo debajo del nido, algo que los criadores consideran un gran error.
