Dorylus
is an African and Asian genus of nomadic predatory ants. The surface-foraging species conduct spectacular raids and are often referred to as driver or safari ants. Other species, such as D. helvolus pictured below, exhibit the specialized subterranean predation that is typical of most other army ants.
Driver ants (Dorylus subgenus Anomma) are among Africa's most visible insects. Here, a soldier stands guard along a foraging trail.
