Atta (ant)
''Atta'' is a genus of New World ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae. It contains at least 17 known species. ''Atta'' leaf-cutter ants are relatively large, rusty red or brown in colour, and have a spiny body and long legs. The three main castes within a nest are the queen, worker, and soldier. Only the queens and males have wings (alate), and these ants are also known as reproductives or swarmers. Although most of the ants in the nest are female, only the queens produce eggs. Queens are usually over long. Overview Ants of the genus ''Atta'' are leafcutter ants that comprise one of the two genera of leafcutting ants within the tribe Attini, along with ''Acromyrmex''. They have no sting, thus inject no venom, although they are known as strong biters. ''Atta'' spp. exhibit a high degree of polymorphism, with four castes being present in established colonies: minims (or garden ants), minors, mediae, and majors (also called soldiers or dinergates). Their immature development underg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lawn Mower
A lawn mower (also known as a mower, grass cutter or lawnmower) is a device utilizing one or more revolving blades (or a reel) to cut a grass surface to an even height. The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower, but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever, or by a lever or nut and bolt on each of the machine's wheels. The blades may be powered by manual force, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that when the mower is pushed forward, the blades spin or the machine may have a battery-powered or plug-in electric motor. The most common self-contained power source for lawn mowers is a small (typically one cylinder) internal combustion engine. Smaller mowers often lack any form of propulsion, requiring human power to move over a surface; "walk-behind" mowers are self-propelled, requiring a human only to walk behind and guide them. Larger lawn mowers are usually either self-propelled "walk-behind" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
