As attine ants such as these are in the subfamily Myrmicinae, they do not have formic acid. This is a different acid that is used to control bacteria and other pathogens that may infect their fungal crop. I don't know how they use their stingers, but it seems to me that the majors seem more...

I'm excited to see all the actual scientific names in this game, and it not going an incredibly unscientific route. Can't wait for the game to come out!

Strangely enough, the anteaters most people think of actually eat more termites than ants. This said, nothing messes with either army or driver ants. Driver ants have powerful mandibles which can even puncture human flesh! They've been known to take small animals as prey.

I'd rather not, I want his channel to focus on educating people about ants rather than the entertainment curve it's taken quickly.

Ants are NOT cannibals. They will not eat other ants. I personally do not think all should be edible.

Quite a few forums you've got there! I'd add on one major one: http://formiculture.com.

Thanks. They all work now.

I've noticed that none of the bolding, italicizing, or underlining options are working when posting new topics. Are you aware of this issue?

Caught a Camponotus chromaiodes yesterday. I'm excited about that.

I feel like this issue needs squashed.

I feel like the addition of honeypots in the future will assist with this problem.

Alright :) I was just saying perhaps a smaller species because the larger ones have such..huge colonies. I didn't know how you'd mimic that in-game. Thanks for the reply.

A species I'd like to see are some form of smaller driver or army ant species. Not anything too big like Eciton or Dorylus, just a Neivamyrmex or Onychomyrmex. The latter of which would could cover both vampire and army ants.

So we'll have Australian (C. inflatus), not North American (Myrmecocystus), honeypots? Also if these species are all present on this one island, I'd say it's got a problem with invasive species. But, really, wasps and termites would both be great additions to the game. Too bad it was an...

Currently only Tetramorium and Crematogaster.
