Gnamptogenys mordax Venezuela
Gnamptogenys mordax queen and worker. Notice that the queen has a larger, more complex thorax. She begins her adult life with wings for dispersal, so she bears all the sclerites and musculature associated with flight. The flightless workers have a simpler anatomy. Venezuela
Gnamptogenys mordax adults, pupae, and larvae. Ants darken as they age, so the different colors of the adults in this photo indicates time since eclosion. Venezuela
