This competition is now closed as we have a winner who gave all 5 correct answers. They were as follows}

1. What is the name given to the insect family which are commonly known as ants?
Answer = Formicidae.

2. By what Latin name is an ant nest known as?
Answer = Formicary (not Formicarium as this is an artificial man made ant nest).

3. What is the common most major difference between Formicine and Myrmicine ants?
Answer = Formicine ants spray or exude formic acid, whereas Myrmicine ants have a sting to inject their venom.

4. What name is given to an Entomologist (Insect Scientist) who studies ants?
Answer = A Myrmecologist.

5. Which has the largest colony numbers, (a) Army Ants - Eciton, (b) Driver Ants - Dorylus, or (c) Leaf Cutter Ants - Atta species?
Answer = Dorylus Driver Ants which can reach colony numbers of up to 20 million ants.

Atta Leaf Cutter Ants may attain a colony between 2 to 5 million, but such large colonies are rare above the 3 million mark.
Eciton Army Ants usually peak at around the million mark, and if a colony gets too large then daughter queens are produced and the colony splits up and forms 2 or more factions, with the old queen taking about half the workers and her daughter queens taking a percentage and budding off from the old colony.
