Climatic characteristics of ants in autumn equinox solar terms

The climate characteristics of ants in the autumn equinox and solar terms are as follows:

1. Temperature and humidity: The temperature in the autumnal equinox solar terms gradually decreases, and the temperature difference between day and night increases. The temperature is generally around XX℃ during the day and XX℃ at night. This temperature limits the activities of ants.

At lower temperature, ants will reduce the frequency and time of going out to reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the humidity of solar terms in the autumn equinox is also low, which easily leads to ants losing water and drying. Therefore, ants will pay more attention to finding places with higher humidity to maintain the water balance of the body.

2. Food sources: The autumnal equinox and solar terms are harvest seasons, and food sources become more abundant. As the temperature gradually decreases, the mortality of insects increases, and it becomes more difficult for ants to find food.

The fruits and seeds of plants in the autumnal equinox and solar terms mature, which provide a large number of food sources for ants. Therefore, ants will actively look for food to store energy and materials during this period to prepare for the severe cold in winter.

3. Social behavior: The climate characteristics of solar terms in the autumn equinox also affect the social behavior of ants. When the temperature is high, ants will spread out in search of food and living space. In the autumn equinox solar term, as the temperature drops, ants will gather together to form a larger group.

This group can enjoy resources, improve the survival probability and help ants stay warm in winter. In addition, ants' social behaviors during the autumnal equinox and solar terms also include nesting and carrying food.

The characteristics of the twenty-four solar terms:

1. Overall characteristics of solar terms: Twenty-four solar terms are a time division method formed in ancient agricultural activities in China. Based on the changes of climate, phenology and agricultural activities, each solar term has its own unique climate characteristics and agricultural activities. These solar terms reflect the diversity of geography and climate in China and are of great significance to guiding agricultural production.

2. Six solar terms in spring: Spring is the first six of the 24 solar terms and the most pleasant season in a year. The climatic characteristics of these six solar terms are mainly manifested in the gradual increase of temperature, warm and humid weather and increased rainfall, which is beneficial to the growth and development of crops. At the same time, spring is also the golden season for people's outdoor activities and travel.

3. Six solar terms in summer: Summer is the last six of the 24 solar terms, and it is also the season with the highest temperature and the most concentrated rainfall in a year. The climatic characteristics of these six solar terms are mainly characterized by high temperature and rainy weather, rapid change of weather, uneven distribution of rainfall, frequent meteorological disasters such as drought, flood and low temperature. At the same time, summer is also the season when people's clothing, diet and life change the most.
