alexwild > Some ant species have subdivided their sterile worker caste into numerous forms, each specialized for particular tasks. Here a supermajor worker of the marauder ant Pheidologeton affinis uses her massive mandibles to cut through tree bark to reach a tasty beetle larva. Her smaller sisters will then get to work killing and carrying the prey back to the nest. Cape York Peninsula, Australia. filename: PheAff2
