About honeypot ant
Honeypot ants, known for their unique ability to store food in their abdomens, are fascinating creatures. Their specialized workers consume large amounts of food, causing their abdomens to swell significantly. This is due to the hard dorsal sclerites and softer arthrodial membrane in their abdomens. These ants are also edible!
