New ‘Pirate’ Ant Discovered in the Philippines may 29,2013

A new Ant species was discovered in the Philippines that is called the Pirate Ant. A scientist found this in the rain forest of the Philippines while she was looking for a special ant and when she saw the Pirate and she knew it was something that was never seen before. This Ant is called pirate ant because it has a light skin and their eyes look like if they had a back patch. Scientists think that this ant lives his hall like underground in complete darkness and this is why their eyes only receive a like bit of light also scientist think that the eye patches are used to confuse and distract predators.

This article interested me because I did not know that there where such a variety of ant species and specially such a rear species that lives in darkness, there for this means that we have a lot to discover underground that we dont know yet.

I can connect this to my daily life because in the past most of my articles have been about discovering new spices of animals and discovering new places. This means that I have a huge interest in new discovered stuff and usually the new species and places are soo unique that the interest that i find is also unique.

The area of interaction is environmental because as I said before there is a lot to discover in our environment that we have not discovered yet and every day we come closer to answers that in the past we did not have any idea.
