Field Notes

Description:

Army ant colony castes consist of queen ants, soldier ants, and multi-purpose worker ants. In the army ant colony, the queen ant lays eggs, the soldiers focus their attention to the defense of the colony(larger ones with pincers), and the worker ants are split between being foragers or tending to the queens brood.

Not the best picture I could get of them but I just wanted to share!

Habitat:

These were in the Kakamega rainforest, Kenya. Found primarily in central and east Africa, although the range also extends to tropical Asia
