Neivamyrmex (army ants)
Neivamyrmex is the most diverse and widely-distributed of the new world army ant genera, and the only army ant found in the temperate regions of North America. Although these ants are not uncommon, they are not often encountered because of their partly subterranean habits. Most Neivamyrmex species are specialized predators of other ant species.
