Gnamptogenys taivaensis

A Taiwan endemic of the forest floor. It moves slowly and is dark in colour, so foraging individuals are very hard to spot; when threatened it curls up and plays dead. Workers are monomorphic with no soldiers, every individual has a sting in its gaster, and it only takes insects smaller than itself as prey.
