Pseudomyrmex
is a largely tropical genus of elongate ants, usually arboreal, found throughout the warmer regions of the New World. Several Central American species have evolved complex and specialized relationships with the Acacia plants they inhabit.
Cracking open a twig reveals a small nest of Pseudomyrmex ejectus. The elongate shape of these gracile insects allows them to maneuver in tight spaces.
