Dorylus
Dorylus, commonly known as army ants, is a group of highly organized, nomadic ants found mainly in Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. They are known for their aggressive foraging behavior, forming large, moving colonies that hunt en masse to capture prey like insects or small animals. Dorylus ants do not build permanent nests; instead, they continuously migrate in search of food. They exhibit complex social structures, with specialized roles like workers and soldiers, and communicate through chemical signals. Their coordinated movements and fierce hunting strategies make them a notable example of collective animal behavior.
