Trop. Due to their raids, Carebara species are often compared to army ants, but there are some important differences: Carebara species have been described as very aggressive when hunting or defending their nest, but there are contradictory reports about how they react to other ant species: Generally, Carebara species are said to avoid fights with other ant species (a keeper has reported he almost lost his colony to a Lasius niger invasion and watched Carebara evading smaller Pheidole pieli, but a keeper who intentionally kept C. diversa with a Crematogaster species in the same terrarium reported that Carebara workers had attacked and killed Crematogaster workers. Occasional Paper 234: 1-40. [concl.]. Kota Kinabalu: Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Jaitrong W.; Nabhitabhata, J.

(2015) - The ant genus Carebara is highly diverse with about 250 named taxa to date (Bolton 2014), while the true diversity is probably much higher due to a large number of undescribed species (Fischer et al.

Azorsa and Fisher (2018) - The ant genus Carebara is distributed worldwide, present mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, with approximately 253 described taxa (230 species and 23 subspecies), and the Indomalaya region seems to have more species of Carebara than the other biogeographic regions: 71 species and 14 subspecies (Bolton, 2017).

There also seems to be a lot of unidentified species of what would be considered to be part of the old Pheidologeton genus, and indeed antwiki notes that literature usually feature C. diversa as a species complex.

Some researchers hypothesize this is to save energy enabling the smaller workers to get somewhere without having to walk and hence expend energy, others say it is to help protect the larger majors against predators. Regional differences and species richness. Diversa are well known for some of the most extreme polymorphism in the ant world. Rizali A., M.M. 2006. (2014) - Carebara workers may be monomorphic, dimorphic, or continuously polymorphic. It is also essential to always ensure that the colony has access to water at all times. Terayama, M. 2009. In the nest the fertile queen is constantly guarded and groomed by the small workers and if a colony is disturbed the workers will rush to the queen and completely cover her presenting any potential predator with a seething mass of biting ants. II. 2011. The only time such small colonies should be considered is if they are natural new foundation colonies and even then, colonies with just a few workers are recommended only for very experienced hobbyists. Terayama M., and S. Kubota. (page 10, Carebara in Myrmicinae, Solenopsidini), Kempf, W. W. 1972b. The latter is important since some species seem to be lestobiotic (Bolton & Belshaw, 1993). In seasonal climates such as northern Thailand colonies produce alates only once a year, but in climates thatare constantly warm such as Malaysia, colonies are said to produce alates every three months.
