Okay, new game starts with a photo clue; but not an easy one to kick off with  My genus name is connected with ancient pyramid builders who were rather blood thirsty. I live in central America and build a nest like this. What ant genera am I?  Attachments:

Camponotus? Mainly based on the fact that it looks like they tunnelled through wood  |

I wouldn't consider them particularly bloodthirsty, in the scheme of things. |

Ahh I see, sorry No need to apologize, as you almost have the answer of the ant genera I'm looking for.  Like the ancient Egyptians, these pyramid builders worshipped the sun and made human sacrifices to their gods. That should help.  |

As no one gave the answer to this question, the ants that build this kind of nest is the genus Azteca. Attachments:

I can be made to look very colourful when fed, and may also be a highly spirited ant. Attachments:
