What is another word for Genus Polyergus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs pˌɒlɪəɡəs] (IPA) 
Genus Polyergus is a group of ants commonly known as "slave-making ants". Synonyms for this genus include the scientific names "Formica Polyergus", "Polyergus Raptivorus", and "Formica Raptivora". These ants are known for their unique behavior of raiding other ant colonies to steal their brood, which they then use as slave workers in their own colony. Polyergus ants have adapted to this lifestyle by losing their ability to forage and care for their young, relying solely on their captured slaves to perform these tasks. While the behavior of these ants may be unusual, their efficient use of slave labor has allowed the genus Polyergus to thrive in their native habitats.
