Happy Friday!
I have to admit, Wyatt's sense of humor can be a bit corny at times, but you can't deny that he knows his stuff!
I hope you enjoyed the Prince & The Revolution - Raspberry Beret video https://youtu.be/l7. It was a fitting tribute to the Raspberry ants he found, wouldn't you say?
I've also attached photos from his last inspection, where he found evidence of termites and rat droppings in the attic.
Did You Know?
Raspberry ants , also known as tawny crazy ants, are omnivorous and will eat termites, among other things, as part of their diet. From this inspection we've identified the Raspberries ants doing exactly that. Ants and termites have a co-evolved predator-prey relationship, and termites are a readily available and nutritious food source for many ant species.
Here's a more Raspberry ant diest information:
• Omnivorous Diet:
Tawny crazy ants are known for their diverse diet, consuming a wide variety of food sources.
• Predator and Scavenger:
They are both predators and scavengers, meaning they hunt and consume other insects, including termites, and also scavenge for dead animals and other organic matter.
• Other food sources:
They also feed on sucking hemipterous insects (aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, mealybugs), sweet parts of plants (nectaries, damaged, and over-ripe fruit), and other insects and small vertebrates.
• Honeydew:
They are attracted to the sugary liquid called "honeydew" produced by sucking insects like aphids and scale insects.
