Dorylus - Driver Ants Dorylus is an African and Asian genus of predatory nomadic ants.
The surface-foraging species conduct spectacular raids and are often
refered to as driver or safari ants. Other species, such as D.
helvolus pictured below, exhibit the specialized subterranean predation
that is typical of most other army ants. Males are elongate insects commonly
seen at lights whose unique shape has earned them the name sausage flies.
