Like An Army

Over 200 ant species from various lineages are referred to as "army ants" in this context. Numerous ants forage simultaneously over a small area in large numbers thanks to their aggressive predatory foraging groups, or "raids." Foraging termites are devoured by honeypot ants. When two colonies encounter the same group of these fat prey, the ants congregate at a spot known as a tournament, where the workers from each colony circle one another while standing tall on their legs. When one group starts to look too huge, its members quickly flee.
