Abstract
Diacamma rugosum and Odontomachus haematodus are ants found coexisting locally in different niches like soil litter, forest floor, gardens, etc. Though they differ in size and morphological features, the similarities in their life styles and behaviours are striking. They are solitary foragers and prey on a number of arthropods, mainly depending on their visualsensory system1–3.
