SmugMug > keywords > size > Pheidologeton affinis marauder ants have one of the largest size disparities between the largest and smallest worker ants in a colony.  Here a supermajor uses her massive jaws to cut through tree bark while minor workers stand by.  The ants have discovered beetle larvae- a favored prey item- underneath the bark.
