Titanomyrma (SciiFii)

The great ant (Titanomyrma), also known as the giant army ant and tthe giant driver ant, is a genus of giant ant that originally lived during the Eocene as three extinct species, Titanomyrma lubei, Titanomyrma gigantea, and Titanomyrma simillima, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across mainland Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The great ants are some of the largest ants in existence, with queens often growing to be comparable in size to a hummingbird or having a wingspan of 15 centimetres (5.9 inches). Unlike their closest relatives, the driver ants, the great ants do not possess a sting and do not have a closing mechanism on the crop. Instead, the great ants spray formic acid as a form of defence, and they are known to be omnivorous, being able to, depending on a species, feed on fresh food, in the manner of leafcutter ants, or are carnivorous. A few species of great ants are precursor species, being known to follow a raiding lifestyle and butchering animals as big as brown rats. Like driver ants, the great ants form temporary subterranean bivouacs in underground cavities which they excavate and inhabit - either for a few days or up to three months. Colonies of this genus are not as large as those of driver ants, but are still enormous compared to other army ants and can contain over 5 million individuals. The conservation status of all the known great ant species is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the great ants' wide range.
