Emerald Driver Ant
A medium-sized driver ant with dark brown to black coloration found in West African forests. Colonies conduct raiding parties primarily at night. Workers form living bridges and chains with their bodies to cross obstacles.
Did You Know?
Workers can form living rafts by linking their bodies together to cross streams and flooded areas during raids.
Green Baron
A forest butterfly with vivid iridescent green upperside in males, while females are brownish with white markings. It has a powerful, gliding flight pattern and rarely opens its wings when settled.
Did You Know?
The brilliant green of the male is produced by microscopic structures in the wing scales rather than by any chemical pigment.
