di Novomessor cockerelli il cibo troppo grande per una sola formica?","Un'esploratrice che trova un oggetto troppo grande da spostare da sola richiama le compagne di nido con segnali chimici e sonori, e una piccola squadra si raduna attorno al carico, con le trasportatrici che lo trascinano all'indietro verso il nido.

In laboratorio in questa specie non si è osservato scambio di cibo per rigurgito, e finché la regina è presente le operaie depongono solo uova trofiche, che sembrano essere la sua principale fonte di cibo. La regina dipende quindi da una colonia ben nutrita in grado di produrle. Se la regina viene a mancare, alcune operaie iniziano a deporre uova che si sviluppano solo in maschi, e la colonia si estingue una volta che quei maschi sono nati e le operaie sono arrivate alla fine della loro vita.",{"question":235,"answer":236},"Novomessor cockerelli è davvero una raccoglitrice di semi?","Solo in parte, nonostante il suo nome comune inglese. Nel deserto di Chihuahua quasi la metà di ciò che le sue operaie raccoglievano erano insetti o parti di insetti, mentre la sua stretta parente Novomessor albisetosus ne raccoglieva molti meno. Gli allevatori osservano lo stesso schema: accetta con entusiasmo le proteine, accumula di rado semi e a volte ignora un mix di semi, anche se alcuni negozi dicono che i semi possono costituire circa metà della dieta. Offri i semi come integrazione, non come cibo principale.","Formiche grandi, snelle e dalle zampe lunghe, da marroni a bruno-rossicce, con il gaster nerastro, la testa lunga e stretta e due spine sul retro del torace. Novomessor albisetosus è molto simile e si distingue per la forma della testa, quindi controlla la testa prima di dare per scontato quale delle due hai.","it",{},true,[242,245,248,250],{"kind":243,"text":244},"tip","Il calore è la leva principale.
