Army Ant
Eciton burchellii
Army ants roam tropical lowland forests, moving from one temporary bivouac to another rather than occupying a permanent nest. Individual workers seize insects and other small arthropods with strong mandibles, carrying prey back to the colony. Eciton burchellii is known for its immense, fast-moving raids, though each ant acts using close-range bites and grips.
