Marching in Reinforcements

Drums....drums....drums

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah hurrah.

We slaughter termites just for fun, HURRAH HURRAH!

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah hurrah.

We'll all be dead before we're through, HURRAH HURRAH!

The ants go marching three by three, hurrah hurrah, hurrah hurrah.

We're off to face our destiny HURRAH HURRAH!

The ants go marching four by four hurrah hurrah.

You'll find there is a million more HURRAH HURRAH!


Are there any ant species that are aggressive enough to take on a Giant Asian Hornet nest and actually win?

If so, could an ant colony be grown around a Giant Asian Hornet nest using sugar and honey troughs, drinking straws filled with honey and sugar, that could then be hung around the hornets tree to draw the ants into the hornets nest?

The first wave will march across Canada through the Fall and arrive sometime in Winter to make advanced camps in Washington state. By Spring U.S. based divisions will arrive from the Southeast with ant divisions from Hawaii coming in by the sea from Pearl Harbor to cut the hornets escape to the sea off. The hornets will have no choice but to fleet north for food where they will freeze in the Canadian Winter.

I can imagine how glorious a battle it will be. Millions of torches lighting up the faces of fearless ant warriors in the night, flaming sugar cubes launched at the hornets nests using leafapults and then the honey bee bombers, unleashing total devastation with their hive mites.

It will be total victory.

Yes, there are some ants powerful enough to take down a nest of Vespa mandarinia (Asian Giant Hornet) if it's not obvious enough, it's army ants (Dorylinae, usually it's Eciton, Labidus and Dorylus that are powerful enough to do that). Most of the time, army ant colonies can get hundreds of tmes larger than hornet colonies.
