  • Parasitism is a non-mutual relationship between organisms where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

      In the case of the Cobalt Ants and the Mantis overlords, this would be a parasitic relationship because the Mantis tribe offers nothing in return except an illusory "order" of which the Ants already had developed independently of the Mantis.

  • Colonies of the social parasite Megalomyrmex adamsae are small, consisting of only a handful of ants. They raise their brood in small chambers built within the fungus gardens of their host species. Here the queen is visible in the middle of the nest chamber. Panama; captive colony at the University of Texas

  • Many members of this speciose genera are either known from workers only or from a few queens but mainly workers have been collected. Males are unknown and uncollected for a majority of species.

      males are unknown - could have a female dominant tetramorium hive with female dominant mantis parasitic hosts....

      Males will be few and remain in the nest except on raids at which point they will remove the eggs, and the females engage in war. Tetramorium Caespitum will be the template of The Cobalt Ants of Clamorstone.

  • The tropical species Archegozetes longisetosus is one of the strongest animals in the world, relative to its mass (100 μg): It lifts up to 1,182 times its own weight, over five times more than would be expected of such a minute animal.

      A mite that is introduced late in the story becomes a key factor in the second book. The Cobalt Ants eventually contract the help of some super strong mites in exchange for unhindered access to the Kairnewood and surrounding foliage.
