Novomessor cockerelli transportent-elles une nourriture trop grosse pour une seule fourmi ?","Une éclaireuse qui trouve un objet trop gros pour être déplacé seule appelle ses congénères par des signaux chimiques et sonores, et une petite équipe se rassemble autour de la charge, les porteuses la tirant à reculons vers le nid. Lors d'expériences avec cette espèce, une fourmi seule portant sa part d'une charge allait plus vite que n'importe quel groupe : travailler en groupe ne rend donc pas chaque porteuse plus rapide, mais permet à la colonie de rapporter de grosses proies qu'aucune ouvrière seule ne pourrait déplacer.",{"question":232,"answer":233},"Les ouvrières de Novomessor cockerelli nourrissent-elles la reine ?","Pas de bouche à bouche. En laboratoire, l'échange de nourriture par régurgitation n'a pas été observé chez cette espèce, et tant que la reine est présente, les ouvrières ne pondent que des œufs trophiques, qui semblent être sa principale source de nourriture. La reine dépend donc d'une colonie bien nourrie, capable de les produire. Si elle disparaît, certaines ouvrières se mettent à pondre des œufs qui ne se développent qu'en mâles, et la colonie s'éteint une fois ces mâles sortis et les ouvrières arrivées au terme de leur vie.",{"question":235,"answer":236},"Novomessor cockerelli est-elle vraiment une moissonneuse ?","En partie seulement, malgré son nom anglais, desert harvester ant (« fourmi moissonneuse du désert »). Dans le désert de Chihuahua, près de la moitié de ce que ses ouvrières récoltaient était constituée d'insectes ou de morceaux d'insectes, alors que sa proche parente Novomessor albisetosus en récoltait bien moins. Les éleveurs observent la même chose : elle prend les protéines avec avidité, fait rarement des réserves de graines et ignore parfois un mélange de graines, bien que quelques boutiques disent que les graines peuvent représenter environ la moitié du régime. Proposez les graines en complément, pas comme aliment principal.","De grandes fourmis élancées, aux longues pattes, brunes à brun rougeâtre, au gaster noirâtre, à la tête longue et étroite et munies de deux épines à l'arrière du thorax.
