Ponerine Ant

Pachycondyla crassinoda

Ponerine Ant

A ground-foraging predatory ant found in tropical forest and woodland soils, leaf litter, and nest cavities. Adults hunt small arthropods with strong mandibles and subdue prey or enemies with a functional venomous sting. Unlike the helpless brood stages, the adult is mobile, alert, and heavily protected by a hard exoskeleton.
