2. Myrmeconema neotropicum - Wikipedia

   Upon passing through the bird's digestive system the eggs are defecated out. The eggs are then picked up by the ants and fed to their larvae. Once inside the immature ant gut the eggs migrate to the gaster where they will fully mature. Once the ant larvae pupate the mature nematodes begin to reproduce inside of the gaster.

5. Cephalotes atratus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalotes_atratus

   This ant is the only known definitive host of the nematode Myrmeconema neotropicum. The ants bring infected bird faeces back to the colony to feed to their young. As the ant develops, the nematode also develops and moves to the gaster in the ant's abdomen. This is where the adult nematodes mate and the eggs begin to develop within the female ...

6. Nematode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode

   About 90% of nematodes reside in the top 15 cm (6") of soil. Nematodes do not decompose organic matter, but, instead, are parasitic and free-living organisms that feed on living material. Nematodes can effectively regulate bacterial population and community composition—they may eat up to 5,000 bacteria per minute.

7. Honeypot ant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_ant

   Honey ants are unique in using their own bodies as living storage, used later by their fellow ants when food is otherwise scarce. When the liquid stored inside a honeypot ant is needed, the worker ants stroke the antennae of the honeypot ant, causing the honeypot ant to regurgitate the stored liquid from its crop. [4] [5]
