Queenless ponerine ants (Diacamma) · Diacamma

Diacamma rugosum

Diacamma rugosum

Found mainly in natural grassland. The body is long and slender with fingerprint-like sculpture. This is a monomorphic ant with males but no distinct queen caste: it does not produce winged females, and instead the strongest individual earns the right to reproduce. Foragers spread out individually and only take insects smaller than themselves.
