My observations with odontomachus

Odontomachus are an interesting combination of common and reclusive. In warm habitats they can be found anywhere with leaf litter. Even if you expose the nest, they are very reluctant to defend despite having a sting that, in my experience, is almost the same as a yellowjacket, even a little more pa...

The bureli immediately raided the colony as soon as they got the upper hand and stole brood. I didn't let t...

I am an ant keeper that lives in Miami, one of the worst places for invasive ants and invasive species in general. South Florida is a new home for species such as the cane toad, br...
