Long-horned Amazon Ant (Polyergus longicornis)Observer
aperturesciencebydanDescription
So, this is a polyergus bilateral gynandromorph! ½ worker caste (red), ½ alate (black). The mandibles, eyes, single wing, and antennae are the more obvious caste traits reflected in each half of this individual. Found them shortly after leaving the colony possibly (I found one a few feet away).

Does anybody knows which kind of association the two ant species on the picture have? They used the same nest entrance...xenobiosis?
