Nature of Aragon > Fauna

This order includes species such as bees, wasps, and ants.

Bees

The honeybee forms differentiated groups in social castes: the queen, the drones and the workers.

They live in highly organized societies and inhabit natural or artificial hives, in which they form honeycombs with hexagonal cells where they store honey, pollen and nectar, which serve to feed the larvae.

Wasps

wasps are hymenopterans of the vespid family, which form nests like small combs, on the ground, on branches and even on the projections of the buildings.

Wasp's honeycomb

They feed on the nectar of flowers and fruit juices.

With their sting they can produce very painful stings.

There are wasps that lay their eggs in the larvae of other insects.

The ichneumon wasp bores into wood with its long, sharp ovipositor and lays its eggs in larvae that it locates inside the wood.

The bumblebee is a large, buzzing insect that forms colonies in holes and burrows.

Ants

Ants, like honey bees, form permanent societies of a complicated organization, composed of a fertile female or queen dedicated to laying eggs, and a large number of workers and soldiers.

Ants chew food and store it in the "social" stomach, which they use to feed larvae and other ants.

They have highly developed antennae sensory organs.

Its defensive weapon is a jet of formic acid that it maintains in a gland.

Ants generally make nests underground with a population of many thousands of individuals.
The fertile female or queen is dedicated to laying eggs and the larvae that hatch from them weave a cocoon from which the adult insect emerges.

The anthill is composed of many chambers for the development of the young.

Periodically winged males and females are born that leave the ant hills to form new colonies.

Ants

Also Aragon enjoys a diverse and varied Nature where passing by plants, animals, Geology, or landscapes we can arrive at a fantastic bestiary that lives in its monuments.

The information will not be complete without a stroll by its three provinces, with shutdown in some of its spectacular landscapes like Ordesa, the Moncayo, Monegros or by opposition the Ebro.

Also you can dedicarte to the intangible ones: from the legend compilation that also does to universal Aragon.

The pasapues project is an extension of the Aragón project is like that, and tries to collect and relate all possible types of documentary information about Aragon: texts, books, articles, maps, illustrations, photographs, narrations, etc., and proceed to its publication and diffusion.
