Ant (נְמָלָה nəmālāh - Strongs: H5244; Proverbs 6:6; 30:25) — Over twelve species of ants exist in Israel; among them the ants of the genus Atta are particularly common, especially the Atta barbara, of dark color, and the Atta structor, a brown species. These, with the Pheidole megacephala, are, unlike the ants of northern countries, accustomed to lay up stores of grain for winter use. Hence the allusions of the wise man in the two above-mentioned passages of Proverbs.
