The Dinosaur ant is a large ant from northeastern Brazil. It has a venomous sting that it uses to subdue big live prey and to defend its nest. Scientists are studying its venom because it may be useful for medicines.1

Dintlha

This ant has no queen. All individuals are similar in form and can reproduce.1

In laboratory tests on mice, its venom reduced pain.1

Its nests are deeper than those of Dinoponera gigantea, which may help it cope with dry seasons.1

Of all the Dinoponera ants, this species has the largest colonies.1
