The uue ants, however, as shown in the synoptic table, are readily thstin- Kuished from all other Hy menoptera, aside from their ^(eneral and more characteristic appear- ance, bv the one or two swellinjjs on the petiole of the abdomen. We have seen with th- bees and with the wasps that while some species are and live in communities, others are solitary in their habits. With the ants, however, it IS different; all species *â '«â -oâ^"l^""i'>i^ xylnni. , , .lAcwi. i live in communities and are insects. life with certain of the ants is carried to the p;reatest extreme known in nature. The differentiation into different or forms of individuals of the same species is carried to a much hiijher extent than with the bees and the wasps.
