Meet the Dracula ant Myopopone castanea, the only extant species in its genus. Like other ants in the subfamily Amblyoponinae, the workers pierce the larvae with their mandibles and drink the oozing hemolymph. Hence the name “Dracula ant”. Danum Valley, Sabah.

Dinomyrmex gigas, the giant forest ant (large workers are ca. 28mm) dissolves territorial disputes with other colonies via a ritualized behavior called “front leg boxing”. This allows the ants to maintain territorial boundaries while avoiding escalated conflict. Danum Valley, Sabah, Borneo.

Hi, I've been spamming my ants drawing but i thought i should share my student film too. I'm not as proud of it but I think share what you're not proud of is also important.

We try to put as many biological facts about ants in our colony simulator as possible without dampening the fun.
What do you think: when does informative text become too much?

Pony ants often have amazing metallic colours to help other animals like me remember how painful their sting is. It works just fine. This is Rhytidoponera confusa.

It’s always fun to watch the two superstars of neotropical myrmecology - army ants and leafcutter ants - interact. Here, the harvesting activities of Atta cephalotes are disrupting an Eciton burchellii colony emigration. La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.
