What is a "driver ant"?

A driver ant is a large and highly social ant found in Africa. They live in massive colonies and are known for their aggressive behavior and swarm-like hunting strategies. Driver ants are predominantly carnivorous and are capable of overpowering and consuming a wide range of prey, including insects, spiders, small mammals, and even birds. They are considered important for pest control in their natural habitats, as they can decimate other insect populations. The colony of driver ants is constantly on the move, building temporary nests as they travel, making them a formidable and relentless force in their environment.

Examples
1Driver ants spend part of their time as nomads because the colony frequently shifts locations.
2When it comes to sheer reproductive output, no animal beats the African driver ant.
