Which is true about big headed ants?

• A. Two Distinct Forms Of Workers
• B. Not Found In Florida
• C. Cone Style Mound
• D. Nest In Insulation, Wall Voids, Etc.

Answer: (A)

Big-headed ants are characterized by two distinct worker forms, a division of labor that’s visible in the colony structure. There are smaller workers who do most of foraging and brood care, and larger workers with disproportionately big heads that act like soldiers, using strong mandibles to defend the nest and handle heavier tasks. This clear dimorphism—two forms of workers—is the defining feature that makes the statement true.

As a point of context, these ants are present in Florida, so the idea that they’re not found there isn’t accurate. They don’t typically form cone-shaped mounds, and while they can nest in places like wall voids or insulation, that nesting tendency isn’t the defining trait of the species. The two-worker castes remain the best indicator of big-headed ants.
