Features of the Species

One of the standout features of Stigmatoma reclinatum is their highly aggressive behavior. These ants are known for their relentless nature when it comes to defending their territory, making them a formidable force in the ant kingdom. Additionally, the absence of a queen in the colony is another unique aspect of this species. Reproduction is solely carried out by gamergates, which adds a fascinating dimension to their social structure.

Furthermore, Stigmatoma reclinatum ants share a striking resemblance to H. venator ants, making them a captivating addition to any ant enthusiast’s collection. Another intriguing characteristic is that their larvae are capable of independently drinking and consuming food, showcasing their self-sufficiency even from an early stage.
