Trivia
- Black ants can shoot formic acid in real life. The developers don't implement this in the game because black ants are meant to get you used to basic game mechanics.
- Black garden ants (Lasius niger) were replaced with black silky ants because the latter are hosts of the chosen slave-maker ants. They were removed from the game completely from version 0.05 onward.
