ANTS FROM ANTIPODES
DRAW U.S.. ANTIPATHY

APP Newsfeotures
OAKLAND. Colif.-Meet the
" bull ant of the Antipodes.
He" may be q lady. but
grows to be On inch long ond
charges like q bull at anything
threatening his nest. which is
in Australia.
If the Department of Agricul-
ture has its way, this ant will
never break up an American pic
mic.
Austrian Naturalist Ellen
Clark. of Box Hill, near Mel
bourne. has arrived with LOO of
these ants, with which she sat
up" on the 5000 mile flight across
the Pacific.
The idea is to compare the ants
with the less belligerent ants of
America. Miss Clark has been
studying bull ants for a year and
is cooperating with the Amer
lean Research Institute.
Most bull ants. she explains,
are not really bulls at all. Most
are "heifers" or seXually imma-
ture females who do all the work
and fighting.
The male of the species, known
as Myrecia, is no great shakes. He
flies only on his honeymoon, then
dies. His widow, however, tears
off her own wings and devotes
her life to laying eggs, eight to
10 in a batch.
Miss Clark soon will have to
take these ants back to Austria
liza by plane. The Department of
Agricultures Bureau of Entomol-
ogy and Plant Quarantine is out
to see that no Australian bull
ant, sexually immature or not,
gets loose in this country.
POOH" says Miss Clark. IF
turned loose they would die. I'm
sure of it. They would not eli
