Dracula ant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (335 words)
Dracula Ants of the genus Adetomyrma are rare and primitive ants endemic to the island of Madagascar.
This behaviour is thought to represent a precursor to the social feeding behaviour typical of more derived ant species, which use their larvae to digest their food (with the larvae later regurgitating it for the adults—which are unable to digest their own food—to eat).
This single joint may indicate the Dracula Ant to be an evolutionary "missing link" between ants and wasps which have similar abdomens.
