These Nomamyrmex esenbeckii. of army ants live in South America and are among the few species of ants that do not build nests, they link their bodies together to make a structure called the bivouac.

These ants are almost totally blind. While ants generally tend to have poor eyesight (though there are exceptions, such as Gigantiops destructor and many Myrmecia sp.) so, it's even more interesting that this species has chunky antennae.

What I've noticed is that ants that do a lot of fighting tend to have more study antennae-- and when it comes to violence? These girls are among the most belligerent ants on the planet! Being nomads army ants always stay on the move, they run through the forest in waves up to a meter wide driving all living things from the bush, killing and eating every insect they encounter. That's where they get their other name "driver ant" because they drive a wave of creatures from the forest! There are many species of "ant bird" that feed almost exclusively on the creatures chased from their homes by driver ants.

Characteristics of Aphids and Their Ecological Control

Aphids form a very broad group of insects. They belong to the order Hemiptera, suborder Homoptera (cicadalas, aphids, white flies and woodlice).

The aphid can have black, yellow, green, orange, etc. with an approximate size of 1 to 6 mm, we can see it with the naked eye, and are found mainly in warm areas and with little humidity, being its moment of greatest activity Spring and summer. Also the…

Dorylus

Dorylus translates into spear-like.

Family: Formicidae (Ants)

Fun Fact: “Siafu hunt by sensing the carbon dioxide that insects and animals breath out. If a person is playful and brave, or just plain stupid, they can tease the Siafu by blowing on the trails of ants and watching them burst into activity, pincers held high, looking for prey.” (Source)

Habitat: They are endemic to grasslands and forests of Central and southern Africa

Driver ants (genus dorylus) are a type of army ant that lives in Africa and some parts of Asia. Known as siafu by the local population, these ants form large columns when they need to migrate from one location to another.

These columns can consist of up to 50 million ants at a time, and will go through anything that stands in their way, including homes. They actually provide help, though, as these columns devour pests, even up to the size of large rats. In their marching columns, they have a formation in which large soldier ants stand guard on the sides of a stream of worker ants.
