idea for a new ant species

polyrhachis sokolova.
similarly to the fire ant (solenopsis) polyrhachis sokolova are able to survive in water, however unlike fire ants, these ants are capable of swimming and walking on water. they typically nest within mangrove swamps, which i personally believe would be a cool location to colonize. this would allow it to easily survive flooded nests. however it still doesnt mean water is perfectly safe, many other things can still pick off of these ants, making them an interesting new addition.
