Ectomomyrmex javanus

Ectomomyrmex javanus

Commonly found on the floor of primary forest. Workers are monomorphic with no soldiers, the queen has a noticeably robust thorax, and every individual has a sting in its gaster. It likes to live near termites and feeds on them, usually foraging alone. It is rather timid and curls up to play dead when threatened, and only brings home prey of about its own size.
