 Insects - Bites and Stings
People who are hyper-allergic to bee stings should also take great care to avoid being stung by ants.
Ants from the subfamilies Ponerinae (Green Head ants and others), Myrmeciinae (Bulldog ants, Jack Jumpers), and Myrmecinae (includes the introduced Fire ant) all have functional stings.
Many of the most common ants such as the Dolichoderinae (Meat ants, Coconut ants, Argentine ants) and Formicinae (Sugar ants, Green Tree ants) do not have functional stings, and rely on spraying noxious chemicals at potential threats.

 Hetaeriinae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The bulk of Hetaeriinae diversity is found associated with the colonies of neotropical army ants (Ecitoninae).
However, several other ant groups are known to host various Hetaeriinae, especially Attini, Formicinae (Formica, Lasius), and Myrmecinae (Pheidole, Solenopsis), and even some Nasutiterminae termites.
A few genera occur outside of the Neotropical region, including the Holarctic Hetaerius (associated largely with Formica) and the exclusively Palearctic genera Satrapes, Sternocoelis, and Eretmotus.

The single member of the Myrmecophilidae in Canada, the ant inquiline Myrmecophilus oregonensis Bruner, until recently found only in coastal areas of British Columbia, has been collected in pitfall trapping in the South Okanogan Basin ecosection at Vaseux Lake (Scudder, unpublished).
Typically, both adults and juveniles are found in nests of various ant species of the subfamilies Formicinae and Myrmecinae.
The host ants in the South Okanagan are as yet unknown.

The jar with its mix of ants and soil will last for a long time, providing a valuable 'extra' for your frogs.
Please note that the ants you should collect are in the Myrmecinae subfamily (Tetramorium is my favorite).
Dart frogs do not eat ants in the Formicinae group.

 Paleocene and Modern Termites
Armadillos and anteaters make fairly heavy inroads into the termite's ranks in forested regions.
Evidently predation is adequate in the rain forest, for not only do the most numerous species fail to send runways above ground, but a large number of Formicidae, Myrmecinae, and Ponerinae, as well as numerous collembola and Thysanura inhabit the thick litter horizon (Williams).
South American rain forest animals did not become as large as the animals which inhabit Africa.
