Volevo vedere per quanto avrebbe potuto convivere con le mie formiche, ma da subito è stato attaccato. Lui, molto più grosso e veloce, è riuscito a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;scansarsela&lt;/span&gt; fino a quando non ha provato ad entrare nel buco nel terreno, l'ingresso delle gallerie dell'arena. Una formica gli è saltata in groppa come in un rodeo, mentre le altre lo inseguivano; quella che gli stava sopra gli ha mozzicato le antenne staccandogliene una, da li lui si è fermato e raggiunto anche dalle altre è stato catturato.

Qui, tra l’ombra di un muretto e il sole che dalle 13 circa in poi passa sopra il tetto per riaffacciare nel primo pomeriggio sull’altro lato dove le avevo posizionate prima, godono di ombra e di temperature adeguate. Nelle ore centrali del pomeriggio ho contato fino a 70 operaie in giro a foraggiare, tanto che sia l’arena che la &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;farm&lt;/span&gt; iniziano a sembrare troppo piccole per la grandezza della colonia.&lt;br /&gt;Ora riescono a smaltire pezzettini di pollo non proprio piccoli mentre prima li abbandonavano, quando la catturo vorrei provare a lasciargli una grossa preda… Intanto ho calato nella &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;farm&lt;/span&gt; un ragnetto semi-vivo che è stato subito individuato, circondato e attaccato da una decina di operaie e trasportato velocemente ancora vivo all’interno del formicaio. Dopo 2 secondi un’operaia è risalita stringendo nelle mandibole una zampetta… la ferocia del mio popolo mi spaventa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-1585986914389958234?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/1585986914389958234/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=1585986914389958234&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/1585986914389958234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/1585986914389958234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2009/04/dove-non-sorge-il-sole.html' title='Dove non sorge il sole'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-3224099572421867962</id><published>2009-04-17T19:48:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-17T19:58:40.431+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Marmalade</title><content type='html'>C'è una cosa che le mie formiche gradiscono più dei granelli di zucchero: la marmellata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SejBPlWoKkI/AAAAAAAAAh0/sa6yGLZXdOo/s1600-h/IMG_0215.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325719032834828866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 269px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SejBPlWoKkI/AAAAAAAAAh0/sa6yGLZXdOo/s320/IMG_0215.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ingorde vi si lanciano sopra, riempendo fino al limite il loro addome estendibile che si ingrandisce a vista d'occhio, per poi scendere nelle camere sotterranee a dividire il bottino con le altre operaie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SejBPVxI2eI/AAAAAAAAAhs/Dql0_QvGOYY/s1600-h/IMG_0212.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325719028651055586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SejBPVxI2eI/AAAAAAAAAhs/Dql0_QvGOYY/s320/IMG_0212.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-3224099572421867962?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/3224099572421867962/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=3224099572421867962&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/3224099572421867962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/3224099572421867962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2009/04/marmalade.html' title='Marmalade'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SejBPlWoKkI/AAAAAAAAAh0/sa6yGLZXdOo/s72-c/IMG_0215.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-2982660801415441180</id><published>2009-04-15T17:28:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T17:40:12.688+02:00</updated><title type='text'>FWD &gt;&gt;</title><content type='html'>Ieri è stata una giornata caldissima.

Non sono riuscito a fare per il momento delle foto decenti &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;perchè&lt;/span&gt; avrei dovuto smuovere troppo il formicaio e vista l'intensa attività di ieri, circa 40 operaie continuamente in giro, avevo paura si riversarsero all'esterno. Comunque si sono date molto da fare &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;perchè&lt;/span&gt; la superficie dei nuovi tunnel è molto estesa. Ho spostato un po' di terra e ho notato che la sabbia degli strati superiori è poco compatta come ad esempio quella che si trova sulla spiaggia. Al contrario in prossimità delle gallerie diventa dura e solida come se si fosse bagnata e asciugata, opera della loro saliva che gli permette di costruire gallerie solide e sicure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SdCxaD8lOUI/AAAAAAAAAgc/Eth5MKr3Gd0/s1600-h/HPIM2812.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318946221218675010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SdCxaD8lOUI/AAAAAAAAAgc/Eth5MKr3Gd0/s320/HPIM2812.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Il vecchio nido resta comunque ancora abitato e regolarmente visitato... anche qui non potendolo spostare ho potuto scattare solo una foto alla buona con l'autoscatto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SdCxZ2hBb4I/AAAAAAAAAgU/KrdqnF1hCOo/s1600-h/HPIM2809.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318946217613422466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 145px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SdCxZ2hBb4I/AAAAAAAAAgU/KrdqnF1hCOo/s320/HPIM2809.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-4459614039022533796?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/4459614039022533796/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=4459614039022533796&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4459614039022533796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4459614039022533796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2009/03/il-viaggio-della-regina.html' title='Il viaggio della Regina'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SdCxaJaBikI/AAAAAAAAAgk/zA5T6VbgXQU/s72-c/HPIM2814.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-131388652519197939</id><published>2009-03-20T15:49:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-20T15:59:57.503+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Di nuovo a casa</title><content type='html'>Ieri ho trasferito il formicaio dal garage al balcone di casa. E' stata una giornata molto calda, il termometro segnava i 25° C , e così le formiche che foraggiavano da due sono diventate una ventina. Sembrano più vive dell'anno scorso, scorrazzano senza sosta alla ricerca di cibo e di detriti da spostare, evidentemente il letargo deve averle rigenerate a dovere. Purtroppo non sono riuscito a vedere la Regina che si deve essere annidata in profondità... ma tutto lascia presupporre che sia ancora viva. Oggi ho lasciato dei piccoli pezzettini di pollo ma il nuovo calo della temperatura ha smorzato la ripartenza del mio popolo che sembra voglia assopirsi nuovamente.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-131388652519197939?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/131388652519197939/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=131388652519197939&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/131388652519197939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/131388652519197939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2009/03/di-nuovo-casa.html' title='Di nuovo a casa'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-5038130191585842158</id><published>2009-03-18T16:31:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T16:40:53.560+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Fine dell'ibernazione</title><content type='html'>Finalmente i mesi invernali sono trascorsi e il mio piccolo popolo si prapara a dare il via all'attività.

Ne sono passati di mesi da quando ho iniziato a curarmi delle &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Lasius&lt;/span&gt;, precisamente dodici. Proprio in questi giorni un anno fa osservavo le due regine in provetta chiedendomi se avrei avuto il mio piccolo formicaio. Per festeggiare l'anniversario sono riuscito a catturare un piccolo grillo ma da più di tre giorni giace nella &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;farm&lt;/span&gt; senza che il mio piccolo popolo gli abbia prestato la minima attenzione. Eppure è tanto che non mangiano, forse per la temperatura che durante il giorno è di circa 13 gradi hanno rallentato tutte le attività. Non si può dire che siano in uno stato di letargo totale &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;perchè&lt;/span&gt; ogni tanto ne vedo 3 o 4 in giro ma a fronte del numero totale che è di un centinaio di &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;individui&lt;/span&gt; mi sembra comunque un po' pochino. Mi piace allevare le &lt;em&gt;Lasius&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Niger&lt;/em&gt; ma è sempre più forte da parte mia il desiderio di costruire un nuovo formicaio, uno con fattezze più naturali, che ospiti una nuova specie come le &lt;em&gt;M&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;essor&lt;/span&gt; B&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;arbarus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; o le &lt;em&gt;Pheidole Pallidula&lt;/em&gt;.

Di colore bruno o più o meno scuro, la caratteristica che le contraddistingue maggiormente è data dai due nodini che si trovano tra il torace e l'addome. Sono tra le formiche più diffuse nelle città italiane, si possono osservare nei nostri marciapiedi e spesso nei nostri appartamenti (una fessura tra una mattonella e l'altra o un buco nel muro sono sufficienti ad ospitare un nido con qualche centinaia o migliaia di individui...). Amano il caldo, sono golose di dolci ma non disdegnano praticamente nulla.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Fonte: &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/TETRAMORIUM/index.htm"&gt;www.geocities.com/TETRAMORIUM/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mentre le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;tetramorium&lt;/span&gt; non si fanno più vedere da almeno tre settimane nonostante il pavimento di casa mia sia quasi sempre cosparso di briciole a causa dei miei frequenti spuntini... le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Lasius&lt;/span&gt; Niger sono ancora in piena attività, quindi entrano in ibernazione più tardi rispetto ad altre specie. Il garage le mantiene ad una temperatura leggermente più alta rispetto l'esterno ma adesso che stiamo entrando in inverno potrebbe non bastare così ho deciso di proteggerle con qualche altra copertura aggiuntiva. &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-785112871518890218?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/785112871518890218/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=785112871518890218&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/785112871518890218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/785112871518890218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/10/identificate.html' title='Identificate'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SQr9LZ1J_aI/AAAAAAAAAeY/22gAhnuiTkU/s72-c/HPIM2668.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-283263294177231383</id><published>2008-10-25T11:00:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T11:27:33.327+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La camera segreta</title><content type='html'>Vedete tutta quella terra smossa davanti alle due &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;provette&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SQLkMYstcVI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/Qs5WHxOY1kU/s1600-h/HPIM2689.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261018216161702226" style="DISPLAY: block;

Le cause possono essere il troppo caldo o i cunicoli che una volta asciugata la sabbia sono crollati su se stessi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SH9GKsUzBdI/AAAAAAAAAS0/ETAU2oGVnqA/s1600-h/HPIM2321.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223971242284090834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SH9GKsUzBdI/AAAAAAAAAS0/ETAU2oGVnqA/s320/HPIM2321.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;L'ho spostata fuori per vedere se era ancora viva ma purtroppo non c'è l'ha fatta. E' strano come molte operaie le sono state sempre vicino nonostante fosse morta... probabilmente riconoscevano nel povero &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;cadaverino&lt;/span&gt; ancora l'odore. Le altre sopravvissute le ho liberate, utilizzerò l'arena di plastica per l'altro formicaio così da averne a disposizione una più grande.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;NOTA:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se si prendono delle formiche abituate a stare nella terra difficilmente si adatteranno ad un nido in legno o gesso come il mio. Ma... Se si posiziona una regina appena sciamata o ordinata via internet le probabilità d'adattamento sono molte.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-8197034957778824651?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/8197034957778824651/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=8197034957778824651&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8197034957778824651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8197034957778824651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/07/mancato-trasferimento.html' title='Mancato trasferimento'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SH9GKfiqVVI/AAAAAAAAASs/1ODlMgqczyk/s72-c/HPIM2297.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-4940769542601263055</id><published>2008-07-09T20:52:00.015+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T14:12:25.252+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Aiuto identificazione</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SHUJLGKnMjI/AAAAAAAAASk/iBo_9LOhFy8/s1600-h/HPIM2231.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221089429244293682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SHUJLGKnMjI/AAAAAAAAASk/iBo_9LOhFy8/s320/HPIM2231.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Formica del nuovo popolo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondo voi a quale specie appartiene?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-4940769542601263055?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/4940769542601263055/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=4940769542601263055&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4940769542601263055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4940769542601263055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/07/aiuto-identificazione.html' title='Aiuto identificazione'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SHUJLGKnMjI/AAAAAAAAASk/iBo_9LOhFy8/s72-c/HPIM2231.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-8784064289761834620</id><published>2008-07-08T16:07:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-31T10:13:24.592+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Formiche trasportatrici</title><content type='html'>Oggi guardando le formiche nel nuovo formicaio mi sono accorto di una cosa strana: alcune un po' più grandi (soldato) trasportavano dei cadaveri qua e la ma come li posavano a terra questi cominciavano a muoversi!

Oltre ai corpicini delle due formiche morte sono stati accatastati tutti gli avanzi del loro pasti tra cui, come si denota dalla foto, anche le zampe di un ragnetto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SEOwfSRduSI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wS15RqSUgRo/s1600-h/HPIM2022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207199645697947938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SEOwfSRduSI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wS15RqSUgRo/s320/HPIM2022.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Guardando con attenzione mi sono accorto anche di numerosi &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;bozzoli!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Preoccupato ne ho preso qualcuno per osservarlo meglio e ho notato che erano tutti aperti, con un taglio in verticale che li faceva assomigliare a dei sacchi a pelo aperti... Quindi quando il bozzolo è pronto le altre formiche lo aprono per fare uscire la larva e portano fuori l'involucro. Ho visto almeno una ventina di bozzoli aperti, spero che tutte le larve riusciranno ad arrivare allo stadio adulto. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SEOwfo7RtNI/AAAAAAAAAN8/UNDX3BAym4Y/s1600-h/HPIM2023.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207199651778901202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SEOwfo7RtNI/AAAAAAAAAN8/UNDX3BAym4Y/s320/HPIM2023.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-4197783547134114155?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/4197783547134114155/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=4197783547134114155&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4197783547134114155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/4197783547134114155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/06/discarica.html' title='Discarica'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SEOwfSRduSI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wS15RqSUgRo/s72-c/HPIM2022.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-5316480694090369039</id><published>2008-05-28T13:53:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T12:22:47.218+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Arena: project one</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SD1H9N1KsII/AAAAAAAAANU/Q-Hak6NfbFY/s1600-h/HPIM1718.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205395861320413314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SD1H9N1KsII/AAAAAAAAANU/Q-Hak6NfbFY/s320/HPIM1718.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Il primo progetto per completare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;l'arena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;era composto da una base in polistirolo formata da tre fogli:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;uno spesso 2 cm. per il passaggio dei tubi di collegamento;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;due spessi 3 cm. che costituivano il laghetto e il fiumiciattolo per non far fuggire le formiche.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Incollati insieme e siliconati per rendere le superfici impermeabili, avevano una capienza di 3 litri d'acqua, messa in continuo movimento da una piccola pompetta per acquari.

Subito due formiche si sono avvicinate per toccarla con le antenne ma poi si sono messe in fuga. Lei si muoveva lenta tra le 2 ripide pareti di vetro con soli 3 cm di larghezza a disposizione, in quel mondo cosi piccolo per lei che la faceva assomigliare ad mostro enorme. Mi sono tornate in mente le immagini del film &lt;a href="http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Cloverfield&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; quando il mostro passa tra i grattacieli di New York (un film bruttissimo secondo me).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visto il disinteresse del mio popolo l'ho messa nel vaso in balcone e subito più di una cinquantina di formiche sono uscite interessatissime alla scia che la chiocciola lasciava sul terreno &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCLIwbAcHKI/AAAAAAAAAL0/dFpVerwrsYw/s1600-h/HPIM1964.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197937654147849378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCLIwbAcHKI/AAAAAAAAAL0/dFpVerwrsYw/s320/HPIM1964.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;per poi mettersi sulle sue tracce e scovarla tra le foglie. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Dopodiché&lt;/span&gt; l'ho tolta e l'ho messa in un altro vaso lontano dove potesse stare più tranquilla. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCLIwbAcHLI/AAAAAAAAAL8/5cT1K7do6-8/s1600-h/HPIM1967.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197937654147849394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCLIwbAcHLI/AAAAAAAAAL8/5cT1K7do6-8/s320/HPIM1967.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La cosa che mi sorprende molto è che le formiche che mi sono arrivate in provetta hanno uno stile di vita diverso rispetto a quelle osservate in natura. Sono più fragili: se sottoposte a un po' di stress o sbalzi di temperatura crepano. Sono molto più fifone ed hanno abitudini alimentari selezionatissime: le &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;em&gt;lasius&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; fino ad ora hanno mangiato solo zucchero e insetti morti. Si riproducono con difficoltà. Mentre le formiche del vaso (quando scoprirò di che specie sono le chiamerò finalmente con il loro giusto nome... ) sono sopravvissute all'inverno e al &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;DDT&lt;/span&gt; di mia madre e poi mangiano praticamente tutto. Ho provato a dargli dei semini e subito li hanno portati nel sottosuolo mentre le mie li lasciano ammuffire sul terreno.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-2015609688076101612?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/2015609688076101612/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=2015609688076101612&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2015609688076101612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2015609688076101612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/05/altri-piccoli-mondi.html' title='Altri piccoli mondi'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCLIv7AcHII/AAAAAAAAALk/Lba_Uzsf43U/s72-c/HPIM1955.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-6727038503365264802</id><published>2008-05-07T10:46:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T14:00:53.773+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Alcune foto</title><content type='html'>Nella foto sotto si può vedere la lenta ma inesorabile evoluzione delle gallerie del formicaio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SCFs6ryudqI/AAAAAAAAALM/eqQXn01cdIE/s1600-h/HPIM1954+-+Copia.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197555200405960354" style="DISPLAY: block;

Lunga da 2,8 a 4mm. Inconfondibile con la sua testa rossa l'addome nero a forma di cuore e con la sua posizione di difesa unica: con l'addome piegato in avanti come uno scorpione minacciando l'aggressore con il suo aculeo, che, anche se debole, atterrisce i nemici con il veleno che esso versa. Per questo motivo è chiamata formica rizza addome (da bambini la chiamavamo più semplicemente "formica rizzaculo"). E' una formica originaria dell'Africa dove sono numerose le sue sorelle che, pare, siano le uniche formiche a resistere alle sanguinarie formiche scacciatrici africane.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SBHCtbyudfI/AAAAAAAAAJY/5tSXY9BLxmE/s1600-h/HPIM1923.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193145931145311730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SBHCtbyudfI/AAAAAAAAAJY/5tSXY9BLxmE/s200/HPIM1923.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-8824357432895694921?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/8824357432895694921/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=8824357432895694921&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8824357432895694921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8824357432895694921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/nuovi-invasori_25.html' title='Nuovi Invasori'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SBHCs7yudcI/AAAAAAAAAJA/-_oW-2mayYk/s72-c/HPIM1914.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-941335934694385477</id><published>2008-04-22T23:04:00.030+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T22:31:20.715+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Others</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SA5TyLyudJI/AAAAAAAAAGY/T2HAYu7QJm4/s1600-h/HPIM1902.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192179542028874898" style="WIDTH: 177px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 156px" height="175" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SA5TyLyudJI/AAAAAAAAAGY/T2HAYu7QJm4/s200/HPIM1902.JPG" width="177" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SA5TKLyudHI/AAAAAAAAAGM/Uj24hTCdXh8/s1600-h/HPIM1901+-+Copia.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192178854834107506" style="WIDTH: 176px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 156px" height="145" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SA5TKLyudHI/AAAAAAAAAGM/Uj24hTCdXh8/s200/HPIM1901+-+Copia.JPG" width="176" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SA5LMryudBI/AAAAAAAAAFk/-rOrj0ih4OE/s1600-h/HPIM1901+-+Copia.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Loro ci sono.

A me sembra la formica rossa argentina ma non ne sono sicuro...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Comunque non è stato molto fruttuoso da parte loro invadere camera mia: spostando una scatola per fare un po' di pulizia ho causato accidentalmente una ventina di morti... Subito il grosso è tornato nella tana, due che si attardavano a rientrare le ho fatte prigioniere. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Poi verso sera mi spiaceva tenerle in ostaggio così le ho liberate vicino al loro ingresso. Se mi avesse visto mia madre mi avrebbe ucciso, appena messa al corrente delle intruse si è piazzata di fronte al buco dal quale uscivano e ha iniziato a schiacciarle ad una ad una con l'indice dicendomi che era la stessa sorte che sarebbe toccata alle mie se avessero abbandonato la teca...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ho dato una quindicina di &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;cadaverini&lt;/span&gt; come cibo alle mie &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;formichine&lt;/span&gt;.

L'aspetto del corpo dell'insetto, argenteo e oblungo, giustifica il suo nome comune. Il nome scientifico, invece, è legato al fatto che questo insetto si nutre di carboidrati come lo zucchero o gli amidi. Appartiene all'ordine &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Zygentoma&lt;/span&gt; o &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Thysanura&lt;/span&gt;, ed esiste sul nostro pianeta da oltre trecento milioni di anni.&lt;br /&gt;Il cibo preferito del pesciolino d'argento sono la colla, le legature dei libri, le foto, i francobolli, lo zucchero, i capelli,la forfora e la polvere. Non disdegna neppure cotone, lino, seta, insetti morti o persino la sua stessa pelle persa nella muta. In caso non trovi altro cibo, il pesciolino d'argento può arrivare a rovinare capi in pelle (cinture, scarpe) o indumenti in fibra sintetica. Tuttavia, può restare senza cibo per mesi senza soffrirne.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-7175073325177407699?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/7175073325177407699/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=7175073325177407699&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7175073325177407699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7175073325177407699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/il-pesciolino-dargento.html' title='Il pesciolino d&apos;argento'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAughWwLhrI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/pidPQMXxg8E/s72-c/HPIM1885+-+Copia.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-2789760704412332262</id><published>2008-04-19T20:30:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-30T16:09:10.346+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Nuovo sistema anti-evasione</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuf8WwLhqI/AAAAAAAAAEI/_Lhwr2SMp8o/s1600-h/HPIM1884.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191418854723258018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuf8WwLhqI/AAAAAAAAAEI/_Lhwr2SMp8o/s320/HPIM1884.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Non so se per il leggero rialzo della temperatura o per l'alimentazione più appropriata in questi ultimi giorni ho notato un'aumento di attività delle mie &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;formichine&lt;/span&gt;. In superficie osservo sempre 3-6 operaie nella ricerca di cibo mentre nel sottosuolo sono proseguiti gli scavi che hanno aumento la galleria di un altro centimetro. D'altra parte sono divenute più invadenti, una volta non provavano neanche ad arrampicarsi sui vetri mentre adesso tentano spesso ed hanno già &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;tro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAo6sGwLhoI/AAAAAAAAAD4/pI3L_ZkRtQg/s1600-h/HPIM1884.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;vato&lt;/span&gt; il modo di eludere il nylon liquido passando dove il vetro e il legno fanno angolo... Quindi per la loro incolumità ho deciso di posizionare una retina (quella che avvolge solitamente i confetti...) in modo da escludere ogni fuga. Esteticamente non mi piace molto ma è un esperimento. Se funzionerà toglierò il nastro di carta che la tiene ferma e la incollerò direttamente sulla cornice di legno. La rete non fa uscire le formiche, consente una buona &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;areazione&lt;/span&gt;, osservazione ed il passaggio d'acqua ma per il cibo dovrei toglierla quindi penso che se deciderò di fissarla collegherò una scatola al formicaio come area di &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;foraggiamento&lt;/span&gt; in attesa della &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;terra promessa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-2789760704412332262?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/2789760704412332262/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=2789760704412332262&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2789760704412332262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2789760704412332262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/nuovo-sistema-anti-evasione_19.html' title='Nuovo sistema anti-evasione'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuf8WwLhqI/AAAAAAAAAEI/_Lhwr2SMp8o/s72-c/HPIM1884.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-7543711641435110784</id><published>2008-04-16T12:13:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T14:26:20.932+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Riassunto-parte seconda.

Il giorno dopo la provetta era vuota: regina, operaie e larve si erano trasferite nel sottosuolo. Mi spiace molto non avere potuto assistere al trasloco ma devono averlo fatto di notte. Io pensavo che il formicaio si sarebbe presto trasformato in un labirinto di cunucoli invece per tutto questo tempo è rimasto quello che vedete nella foto. Comunque mi ritengo fortunato perchè la galleria poteva anche essere non adiacente al vetro. Cosi ogni tanto mi sono potuto accertare della condizione della regina. In caso contrario penso che avrei abbandonato il progetto ma non ne sono sicuro.&lt;br /&gt;Dopo che l'altra regina era morta è successa una cosa molto strana: ho messo il povero cadaverino vicino all'entrata ma le formiche non l'hanno mai toccato e per di più per tutto il tempo per cui l'ho lasciato li non ho mai osservato operaie in giro in cerca di cibo... Non uscivano perchè avevano paura del fantasma dell'altra regina??!... Quando l'ho rimossa si sono rifatte vive.&lt;br /&gt;Lo zucchero che vedete nella foto dell'altro post è stato molto gradito non ne è rimasto neanche un granellino, stamattina invece gli ho fatto dono di una forbicina (assassinata da me), non sapevo se viva avrebbe messo in pericolo le formiche o le larve, meglio non rischiare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-7543711641435110784?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/7543711641435110784/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=7543711641435110784&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7543711641435110784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7543711641435110784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/riassunto-parte-secondail-trasloco.html' title='Riassunto-parte seconda.

Ho letto su alcuni siti che la formica per compiere il ciclo uovo-larva-crisalide-adulto acerbo-adulto impiega circa 3 mesi. Adesso supponendo che la regina deponga un uovo al giorno e che quando è arrivata c'erano già una ventina di larve dopo 5 mesi dovrebbero esserci circa 80 operaie adulte giusto? Invece nada eppure anche adesso osservo parecchie larve, è possibile che non arrivino mai allo stadio adulto? Spero che la popolazione aumenti presto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questa è più carina:&lt;br /&gt;Cosa fanno due buchi nel sedere?&lt;br /&gt;Una presa per il culo!&lt;br /&gt;Ahahahahahahha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-8814584854789752727?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/8814584854789752727/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=8814584854789752727&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8814584854789752727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8814584854789752727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post_14.html' title='Questa non l&apos;ho capita'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuhUWwLhtI/AAAAAAAAAEg/6L9qOSHBrdQ/s72-c/HPIM1880.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-2048555116338444419</id><published>2008-04-13T12:01:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T14:25:12.032+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Formichicidio</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuh_WwLhuI/AAAAAAAAAEo/h2XRdfCxKXQ/s1600-h/HPIM1703.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191421105286121186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuh_WwLhuI/AAAAAAAAAEo/h2XRdfCxKXQ/s320/HPIM1703.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAJZ_1VHUcI/AAAAAAAAACc/gbdsIa-P0Jo/s1600-h/HPIM1703.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Una volta messa la terra nel formicaio avendo a disposizione 2 regine (scelta che si è rivelata molto azzeccata...!) ho collocato quella con 5 operaie in una vaschetta di plastica con della sabbia e l'altra,che aveva 10 operaie,nel formicaio.&lt;br /&gt;Purtroppo un giorno mia madre per pulire il pavimento ha messo la vaschetta fuori sul balcone a -3° C. Dopo un paio d'ore me ne sono accorto e le ho rimesse dentro solo che stavano immobili e rannicchiate. Dopo un po' hanno ripreso a muoversi un pochetto ma il giorno dopo la regina e le 2 operaie rimaste (3 erano già evase da tempo) sono schiattate tutte.&lt;br /&gt;Alle altre che fortunatamente vivono in una struttura molto pesante (e che quindi mia madre non sposta) è andata meglio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Vi faccio un breve riassunto di ciò che è accaduto dopo.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I primi giorni se ne stavavano sempre dentro la provetta. Ero quasi tentato di farle uscire con la forza ma in alcuni siti racontavano che quando era il momento sarebbero uscite da sole cosi ho aspettato. Successivamente si sono tappate dentro! Proprio cosi granello dopo granello (in 2 giorni circa) hanno fatto un tappo di terra lasciando solo un'apertura minuscola per entrare e uscire.&lt;br /&gt;In quei giorni non gli davo quasi niente da mangiare, solo un pochino di miele. Poi ho provato con una mosca.Dovevano essere molto affamate perchè due orette dopo sono andato a sbirciare ed era sparita. C'era solo un'ala sul terreno a testimonianza del banchetto. Pensavo se la fossero mangiata tutta invece la cosa interessante fu scoprire che se l'erano trascinata dentro e coperta con la terra probabilmente per iniziare una scorta alimentare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-2048555116338444419?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/2048555116338444419/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=2048555116338444419&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2048555116338444419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/2048555116338444419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/il-trasloco.html' title='Formichicidio'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuh_WwLhuI/AAAAAAAAAEo/h2XRdfCxKXQ/s72-c/HPIM1703.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-7398332198500500081</id><published>2008-04-12T11:43:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T19:06:30.957+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La casa delle formiche</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAui52wLhvI/AAAAAAAAAEw/bvcTT44tAao/s1600-h/HPIM1679.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191422110308468466" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAui52wLhvI/AAAAAAAAAEw/bvcTT44tAao/s320/HPIM1679.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finalmente il giorno dell'arrivo delle &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;lasius&lt;/span&gt; era giunto. L'ordine comprendeva 4 regine con 5-10 operaie, 4 sacchetti di terra gialla, 4 fogli trasparenti rossi, teflon liquido.&lt;br /&gt;Due sacchetti di terra a testa non bastavano per riempire il formicaio. Feci uno strato alla base di sabbia, al centro misi della terra del giardino di Ste mentre nello strato più alto il terriccio di &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Antstore&lt;/span&gt; cosi da avere una visione migliore delle gallerie scavate dalle piccole formiche. Successivamente mettemmo il teflon liquido che però l'altro giorno è stato superato da una formica in un tentativo di esplorazione all'esterno del formicaio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SACEkyDd3II/AAAAAAAAABs/WIiWhReHexU/s1600-h/HPIM1680.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188292538177281154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SACEkyDd3II/AAAAAAAAABs/WIiWhReHexU/s320/HPIM1680.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-7398332198500500081?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/7398332198500500081/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=7398332198500500081&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7398332198500500081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/7398332198500500081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/finalmente-il-giorno-dellarrivo-delle.html' title='La casa delle formiche'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAui52wLhvI/AAAAAAAAAEw/bvcTT44tAao/s72-c/HPIM1679.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-8845120991165075082</id><published>2008-04-11T13:06:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T19:04:36.833+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Dove prendere le formiche</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAujM2wLhwI/AAAAAAAAAE4/-S1TZhb4K_Y/s1600-h/23092007247.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191422436725982978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAujM2wLhwI/AAAAAAAAAE4/-S1TZhb4K_Y/s320/23092007247.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Una volta presa la decisione di costruire il formicaio il problema più grande era procurarsi una regina con delle operaie. Le uniche idee che ci vennero in mente all'inizio furono due: andare a scavare in un formicaio già esistente o cercare uno sciame di regine per catturarle nella speranza che alcune fossero già fecondate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/R_9GXCDd3CI/AAAAAAAAAA4/hFjhEeJTcY0/s1600-h/23092007247.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poi una mattina Ste mi telefonò dicendomi che le formiche si potevano ordinare via internet. Andai subito a sfogliare il sito di Antstore e tra una ricerca e l'altra mi imbattei in alcuni siti molto interessanti tra i quali: &lt;a href="http://www.ildiodeipiccolimondi.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.ildiodeipiccolimondi.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; (il mio preferito in assoluto).&lt;br /&gt;Come prima cosa decidemmo di ordinare le Lasius Niger che molti siti consigliavano per dei principianti e andammo a comprare il materiale necessario (principalmente legno d'abete e vetro) per costruire le teche.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-8845120991165075082?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/8845120991165075082/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=8845120991165075082&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8845120991165075082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/8845120991165075082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/dove-prendere-le-formiche_11.html' title='Dove prendere le formiche'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAujM2wLhwI/AAAAAAAAAE4/-S1TZhb4K_Y/s72-c/23092007247.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832896678089225536.post-9001004791828015303</id><published>2008-04-10T13:58:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T14:26:25.801+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ancora in provetta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuleGwLhzI/AAAAAAAAAFM/FPwpnw_neEo/s1600-h/HPIM1708.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191424932101982002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuleGwLhzI/AAAAAAAAAFM/FPwpnw_neEo/s320/HPIM1708.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAulK2wLhyI/AAAAAAAAAFE/3CO9gyXeuek/s1600-h/HPIM1686.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191424601389500194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAulK2wLhyI/AAAAAAAAAFE/3CO9gyXeuek/s320/HPIM1686.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/R_4B5SDd3AI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VB9JdOmTy8g/s1600-h/HPIM1685.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sono passati ormai 5 mesi da quando sono venuto in possesso delle &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;lasius niger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; e non avendo iniziato il blog prima farò di questi primi post un riassunto di tutto ciò che è accaduto fino ad oggi. Non sapevo ancora nulla su allevamenti di formiche o che ce ne fossero altri come me(...). Ricordo solo che da bambino avevo visto un film in cui un uomo aveva in casa un quadro di vetro sottile che in realtà non era altro che un formicaio artificiale e che io passavo ore e ore in campagna ad osservarle (lo ammetto in alcune occasioni sono stato crudele e insensibile verso questi piccoli esserini...). Mai mi sarei immaginato che questa passione coinvolgesse tante persone tanto da spingere società alla vendita di formiche e formicai su internet, anche se il mio, anzi il nostro, ce lo siamo costruiti io e Ste da soli e devo ammettere che è stato stimolante e divertente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/R_4BUSDd2_I/AAAAAAAAAAM/kXl936TyNCQ/s1600-h/HPIM1708.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6832896678089225536-9001004791828015303?l=zheus78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/feeds/9001004791828015303/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6832896678089225536&amp;postID=9001004791828015303&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/9001004791828015303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6832896678089225536/posts/default/9001004791828015303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zheus78.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post.html' title='Ancora in provetta'/><author><name>Zheus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13541135505229426634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W8uVyMEwg8Y/SAuleGwLhzI/AAAAAAAAAFM/FPwpnw_neEo/s72-c/HPIM1708.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
