A new study has now provided the first proof of an ant species that lacks both workers and males and consists exclusively of queens.

I didn’t know they had species of ants that were this weird.
There are ants like Dinoponera where there are no specialised queens, and the strongest worker becomes the ‘queen’ as long as she can keep challengers at bay. The technical term for such queens is gamergate (gam-ergate, not gamer-gate).
This is the best thing I’ve learned all week
So happy to see gamergate get linked again
Wtf omg
L.m.a.O
Biology can always get weirder
