    Swarming serves multiple purposes, including the facilitation of mating by attracting females to approach the swarm, a phenomenon known as lek mating.

Swarms can reach up to 4000 individuals and can last either seconds or a few minutes. When swarming, tadpoles of all stages join but form subgroups based on size. [7]

    Eciton army ants have a bi-phasic lifestyle in which they alternate between a nomadic phase and a statary phase.

    Eciton burchellii raids move as a loose swarm over the leaf litter. This allows for smaller prey to take shelter in the crevices of the leaf litter to hide from the oncoming ants. Since numerous insects and other small prey can escape the swarm, the frequent raids of the ants do not completely deplete an area's prey reserves.
