I mean now I see why dislike buttons existed
Weaver ants would win!
Also, this topic is fine. I don't know what the big deal is, because I support people doing my Ant Battle Thread idea
The only job a callow worker has is to wait for their exoskeleton to harden and to help out with brood care. The fact that callow workers don't fight is what makes them so useful for founding social parasite colonies. Queens are also ant fodder after their more independent behaviors fade away.
If you don't want to participate in the topic, then don't click on it. How do you think I feel every day?
And in closing, I would like to restate that people who import colonies are still punk amateurs who will never be curious enough about ants to contribute in any way to our community. Importing Lasius niger is really stupid if it is true, and really stupid if it is just false and inflammatory. Either way, I am sick of having to listen to this tripe.
If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Black lives still matter.
Brachymyrmex depilis, because of their unique "hit-and-run" tactics.
Brachymyrmex depilis, because too smol.

I'd say Yellow Crazy Ants. Their speedy tactics would dominate IMO.
Brachymyrmex depilis, because too smol.
Camponotus: AUGGH! These ants are too smol! I can't grab them in my mandibles!

Are the Camponotus supposed to be majors or minors? Camponotus majors are incredibly good at disposing other ants up to a point where a handful of them can kill off an entire young colony of over hundred smaller ants like Lasius.
Yikes. I knew they were for defending the colony, but I didn't know they were THAT good at it.
Let's all take a moment to remember the original chain. My "Which ant would win in a battle" chain has seemingly disappeared from my post history.
