Red Ant

Ooceraea biroi

Red Ant

Red Ant workers live in tropical forest leaf litter, soil, and rotting wood. They hunt the brood of other ants, using their mandibles to carry prey back to the nest. This species is unusual because colonies reproduce without queens, with workers producing genetically similar offspring.
