Description

This one was found in an active raid on a Formica nest. Lots of Polyergus workers were carrying Formica pupae. Formica adults largely stood by helpless.

This ant tried to incapacitate me with its sickle-shaped mandibles - as seen in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol8eu5Moy8U)
