黑胸散白蚁生物学生态学特性研究

A Primary Studies on the Biological and Ecological Speciality of the Termites

黑胸散白蚁是一种土、木两栖的社会性昆虫，其巢多筑于房屋木构件及地面或地下的残存木料中，构造简单，巢与被害物间有蚁路或蚁道（地面下）相通，蚁路短而细，多见于被害物表面及墙上。它们以多种木材及农作物秸秆为食，尤其喜食玉米秆及棉纤制品。５月中旬至６月初为有翅成虫分飞期，６～７月繁殖期。群体中补充繁殖蚁较多，６月底至７月初在巢内可观察到幼蚁。其活动、为害及种群数量有明显的季节性，５～１０月是其活动、为害盛期，１１月至翌年３月为越冬（冬眠）期，活动及为害停止。

Reticulitermes chinests is a kind of social insect,living in the soil and timeworn wood.The nests of termites are often built in the timeworn wood of bullding and ground or underground. Its structure is simple and there are many ant road (short, shender) on the surface of wood or wall. Their food is wood, straw of crops (maize) and cotton or its production. The swarming period of winged adult is from the middle ten-day of May to first ten-day of June.The productive period is from June to July. There are more replacement reproductive in the colonies, from last ten-day of June to first ten-day of July. We can see many larva of termites in the nest.The activation and population quantity of the termites is interfered by the weather (humiture et al).There are distinct seasonal variations. During May to October,the activation and damagtion is vigorous. From November to March of next year,their activation and damage stops.
