Clarify "Inbreeding Ants."


They probably want a species like M. pharoanis were the males and females of the same colony can mate with each other inside the nest without a nuptial flight.

Most tramp species are inbreeders, including longicornis. They are actually one of the most interesting examples of inbreeding ants due to their double cloning.
