Savanna Driver Ant
A subterranean driver ant of African savannas that rarely surfaces, conducting most raids through underground tunnels. Colonies may exceed 20 million workers.
Did You Know?
Their underground lifestyle means entire colonies can exist beneath a village without residents ever seeing a single ant.
Yellow-Legged Horntail
A large, dark-bodied wood wasp with bright yellow legs that contrast sharply with its blue-black body. Found primarily in conifer forests of eastern Asia.
Did You Know?
Like all horntails, the short horn-like projection at the tail is not a stinger but a structural feature called a cornus, present in both sexes.
