This Carebara species is colored black and occurs mainly in the rainforest. In addition, this species is monogynous. Almost every day she raids like the well-known driver ants, in contrast to Caraebara diversus, which only raids sporadically. The workers "ride" on the queens (for protection) and sometimes also on the big soldiers. Here you can find the biggest difference in height and dimensions between workers and soldiers. The queen in this Carebara sp. strikingly large. All colonies were raised from a queen.

Tandem run: In the case of a nest moving or a large beutier, a leader will guide another nest in the tandem run! Alone, or hunting in small groups, begetters are usually first stabbed and then transported to the nest. This diacamma species also has a gamergate. The queen can not be distinguished from the naked eye by a worker. These colonies, however, were specifically examined and have guaranteed a queen (Gamergate)

A very large Meranoplus spec. which nests in dead wood or soil nests. The workers are having about 7-8mm more than twice as large known as the Meranoplus bicolor.
This ant is only suitable for a community tank. As is the large diurnal ant colonies they would be very well suited for densely planted a tropical pool. The diet with sugar or honey water and insects is very easy.

Oriental Messor species which doesn't need hibernation. This species is also active in cool season in their range. It is significant easier to keep this species than for example Messor barbarus and they subsist on seeds, honey-/sugar water but also insects (similar to many Pheidole species). A typical identifiers is the caldera formed nest entry. They will often be found in sand or loamy sand. The shape of the body is slimmer than of Messor barbarus and the color of the workers is brown till black. The queen is colored black with brown legs.

These specie build carton nests, similar like wasps, they need high air humidity for the nestbuilding (often spray in the closed basin). They sit up on their long extremities by danger and deliver a little drop turpentinelike defence-secretion at their protruding sting. Slow walking animals. Never nestling in the soil; carton nests often under leafs, no house-ant.

These ants are able to catapult themselfs up to 40 cm far thru sudden lock up of their mandibles. This mandible lock up is the fastest known mechanism in the fauna. The upper jaw closes with a speed of 38 to 64 m/s. Thru locking up their jaws they are anesthetizing their prey to afterwards sting it to death. It is improper for a corporate tank/formicarium because they will attack any other species at first encounter.

These specie lives in trees like ficus, therein they build their nests. For greater colonies it is better to offer them more trees. They waeve at team work leaves which be use as homebase or louse-cultivation room. Never Nestling in the soil. Use own brood (larvae) to weave
Hint: Large Oecophylla smaragdina colonies have many branch nests (polydom) but only one main nest with a mated Queen. Because we don't want to cheat our customers we will only sell opened (verified) nests with guaranteed mated Queens which were usually kept by us several months before we sell. Unopened nests can contain parasites or vermins (Mites, cockroaches, etc.). So called low-cost colonies without Queen are wasted money because you don't take pleasure in very long.

This Pheidologeton species is in contrary to Pheidologeton diversus matt black colored and can mostly be found in rain forest. It is a monogyn species. Almost daily they do predatory attacks like the known driver ants in contrary to Pheidologeton diversus where this behaviour is sporadically. The size of this colony is in most cases smaller than of Pheidologeton diversus. It is also not possible to adopt workers or queens like it is possible with Pheidologeton diversus. The workers ride on their queens (for protection) and sometimes also on the soldiers. The difference of size between the workers and soldiers is the biggest of all ant species.
