Megaponera analis(aka matabele ant) this is a very cool ant, it has some very interesting features but not enough to make it into the game I don't think but interesting enough to talk about.
These ants are 9-18mm long, they're known for their raiding termite nest which termites are there mean diet. Scouts search an area of 50 meters for a termite nest, once a nest is found the scout leaves a pheromone trail & soon a raiding party of a few hundred march towards the nest in columns like a legion. Large majors break holes in the nest as smaller workers enter the nest for the kill, they're quick and effective and grab literally mouthful of termite bodies back to the nest. What's really amazing about this type of ant is that if there are any injured ants that can't make it back, larger ants pick them up & bring them back to the nest for them to heal.
These are videos I found on them...

Again I don't think you'll add them to the game but if you were, you could add a feature where ants that only have one third of hp left have there speed decrease by 60% & you can have megaponera ants pick them up & bring them back to the nest. Or you can have them have a passive ability where if you send a group of purely megaponara ants to attack an enemy nest, they get a buff to defense and attack.
