yarb commented on the word huntress
Each ant of the colony is a huntress, for the society is a wholly carnivorous one. Her prey is pursued individually in underground fastnesses, is seized and stung to death, and, if the huntress be famished, she ceases for a time to be a social insect at all, and forthwith settles down to devour the catch.
