Black garden ant with the mandibles of an unidentified creature..

Driver ant queens are the largest ants on Earth and have the greatest egg-laying capacity among insects, laying several million eggs each month. [11] Several species in this genus carry out raids on termitaria, paralyzing or killing termites and carting them back to the nest. [12] Colonies of driver-ant species have only one queen. [13]

The ant is a part of the Myrmecia pilosula species complex; this ant and other members of the complex are known to have a single pair of chromosomes. Their sting generally only causes a mild local reaction in humans; however, it is one of the few ant species that can be dangerous to humans, along with other ants in the genus Myrmecia.
