None (22) · ''Acanthomyrmex'' workers are divided into two different subcastes, so-called minor and major workers. These species are mostly seed predators and the big-headed major workers crush the seeds with their powerful mandibles. (1) · ''Crematogaster dentata'', a common acrobat ant species from Madagascar (CASC: CASENT0138306). (1) · ''Discothyrea patrizii'', a widespread species in eastern Africa. These ants are specialised predators of spider eggs (located at OIST: CASENT0235472). (1) · ''Echinopla melanarctos''. This is one of the most bizarre and weird looking ant species and occurs in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The ants look spiny and hairy, but the “spines” are actually socket-shaped protuberances (“pedestals”) of their cuticle from which very long thi (1) · ''Paraponera clavata''. This a large, ponerine ant occurs in Central and South American rainforests. Due to its large and painful stinger it is also known as “bullet ant” or “bala” (located at OIST: CASENT0745697). (1) · ''Pheidole klaman'' major worker from Taï National Park, Ivory Coast (HNMUK: CASENT0764691). (1) · ''Pheidole klaman'' minor worker from Taï National Park, Ivory Coast (KGAC: CASENT0745509). (1) · ''Pheidole klaman'' minor worker from Taï National Park, Ivory Coast (KGAC: CASENT0764692). (1) · ''Platythyrea cribrinodis'' (CASENT0764758) collected from Kenya. This species makes simple nest entrances in the ground and forages individually for insect prey. Has a painful sting. Specimen located at OIST. (1) · ''Polyrhachis decemdentata'' (CASENT0764764) collected from Uganda. This species usually nests in rotten parts of standing trees, such as in branches which previously suffered a termite attack. Specimen located at OIST. (1) · ''Protanilla lini''. Rarely enountered, small, subterranean ant from Taiwan and Okinawa, Japan. These ants a specialised predators of millipeds (OIST: CASENT0709417). (1) · ''Protanilla rafflesi''. Rarely enountered, small, subterranean ant from Singapore. These ants a specialised predators of millipeds (OIST: CASENT0742972). (1) · ''Solenopsis globularia''. This is a widely distributed species from Central and South America, also found in the southerwestern mountains of the Arabian Peninsula (located at OIST: CASENT0709353). (1) · ''Strumigenys'' FJ04. (1) · ''Strumigenys'' FJ18. (1) · ''Tatuidris tatusia'' from Central and South America. It is bizarre in its morphology and enigmatic in its biology. Very little is known about their lifestyle. This specimen was sampled in Costa Rica and sent to the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (located at OIST: CA (1) · ''Terataner scotti'' from Mahe Island, Seychelles (located at OIST on loan from CASC: CASENT0158836). (1) · ''Tetramorium immigrans''. Pavement ant native from Europe but introduced pest ant in the United States. Collected in San Francisco (located at OIST: CASENT0317570).

(1) · Because of scanning constraints, only the more sclerotised veins of the wings can be seen. (1) · Because of scanning constraints, only the veins of the wings are visible. (1) · Head of ''M. castanea'' worker (“dracula ant”) from the Australasian region. (1) · Open mouthparts of bark-inhabiting ant species ''Melissotarsus'' sp. from Africa. (1) · Phragmotic major worker head. (1) · Phragmotic major worker. Collected from leaf litter by R. Belshaw on Nov. 8th, 1992 in Ashanti, Juaso in Ghana. (1) · Phragmotic major worker. Kakamega Forest, Kenya. (1) · The largest soldiers of this species have tusk like mandibles, that are a specialised defence against larger predators. (1) · This is a 3D model of a fossilized ant first presented in the scientific article ‘Evidence for the evolution of eusociality in stem ants and a systematic revision of †''Gerontoformica'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)’ published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society by Brendon E. Boudinot (2) · This model was prepared by Tunosemi. (2)
