  1. amazon ant

    Amazon ants are a species of insects belonging to the genus Polyergus, known for their parasitic behavior. They invade the colonies of other ant species, kill the queen, and take over the colony, forcing the native worker ants to feed and care for their own Amazon ant larvae. These ants are named after the warrior women of Greek mythology - the Amazons, due to their aggressive nature. They are mostly found in the North American region.
