Activity of the colony increases and swarm raids increase in size and intensity. The colony now emigrates daily. This phase continues until larval pupation begins. The army ant lives in the heavily forested areas. The temperature and precipitation changes of these areas do not affect E. burchelli 's migration and statary activity cycle.
Many behavioral changes occur during migration.
Workers stop carrying food into their camp and instead carry it and their larvae to new campsites. The queen stays at the old site until almost all the larvae have been moved. References The Ants. Holdobler and Wilson. Belknap Press of the Harvard University Press.
