Talk:Weaver ant

message: What makes it the most elaborate communicative organization? What about bees and and hornets that have rich social structures? I've
saw a show on certain hornets that showed quite remarkable 'intelligence'.

thread_title:  Merge with green ants 

message: Which species is red and which species is green? Or is the colour based on geographical region? Google seems to be throwing out conflicting and confusing answers. Also, is the colour of the queen green for both species or green for one and red for the other? It would probably help if someone could resolve this. BeefRendang (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Well this is confusing 

message: the last sentence makes a statement about the ants being used as pest control.  This statement belongs in a different subcategory. I've also been studying up on the subject and I'll expand on it.--FUNKAMATIC  (talk) 02:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't want to tread on anyone's toes, but there is a very common variety of ant also known as the "Green Ant" in Australia- Rhytidoponera metallica. It is known for its iridescent, green colouring and its extremely painful bite. Would "Green Ant" still be an accurate redirect if an article for Rhytidoponera were created? 121.91.78.217 (talk) 06:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would still be okay. I'm not sure that 'green ant' is really a name commonly assigned to Rhytidoponera metallica. Have you got a reference that supports that ? If someone creates a Rhytidoponera metallica page I think a 'Green-head Ant' redirect page (and associated spelling permutations) would be more appropriate.

thread_title:  Green Ant is a common name for another variety too 

message: Much of the middle of this article seems poorly written and seems to refer to general ant characteristics like the use of pheromones and how they recognize each other. This is or should be already covered in the Ant article, and any reference about this should redirect to this major article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.57.35 (talk) 06:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I tend to agree. The article should focus on attributes specific to weaver ants (e.g. atrophied metapleural glands, how annoying they are, etc) and leave the generalities to the main articles. The article needs a general clean up. I'll try to de-fluff it. Sean.hoyland - talk 07:31, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I feel this photograph of weaver ants hunting a tortoise beetle could add value to the page, but I'm not sure where it could be added in the photo-heavy page. Help? Yathin S Krishnappa (talk) 17:45, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
