 Ant - LoveToKnow 1911
For example, a minute species (Solenopsis fugax) lives in a compound nest with various species of Formica, forming narrow galleries which open into the larger galleries of its host.
The Solenopsis can make its way into the territory of the Formica to steal the larvae which serve it as food, but the Formica is too large to pursue the thief when it returns to its own galleries.
Several species of ants are found in association with another species which stands to them in the relation of slave to master.

 Solenopsis fugax
Solenopsis fugax is a myrmicine ant of the genus Solenopsis.
It is the only member of its genus to be native to the British Isles, and although scarce, it has been taken by Horace Donisthorpe in a number of localities on England's Southern coast, including Sandown and Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.
The species is a thief ant and usually has its nest near another species, stealing food by entering the foreign colony through minute tunnels dug from their own nest.

Solenopsis terricola is dark, mahogany brown, with yellow antennae and legs, which easily separates it from the concolorous S. brevicornis.
Solenopsis molesta workers are often smaller (total length 1.5 — 1.7 mm), those of S. validiuscula larger (total length 1.8 — 2.0 mm), although the sizes of the workers overlap.
Solenopsis puncticeps differs from the “normal” S. pergandei in having coarser punctures on the dorsum of the head, but is very similar to the condition of the types, and is proposed as a synonym.

An unusual indoor infestation in domestic environments from Solenopsis (S.) fugax, an ant that caused erythemato-oedemato-vesicular lesions of the upper limbs and trunk in 3 young females, is reported.
The onset of the lesions was preceded by severe itching and/or burning during the night.
fugax is a very small, yellow-brownish, nocturnal ant, whose powerful mandibles grip its victims and whose retractable sting inoculates an irritant alkaloid venom.

In this study, species that recruit to food resources and persisted two hours after bait placement are termed as “resource-defending” ants.
In Neotropical leaf litter, resource-defending ants in the genera Pheidole, Solenopsis, and Wasmannia do not defend territories, but nonetheless recruit to and defend food resources close to their nests (Torres 1984, Perfecto 1994).
These common species were used to determine differences in dominance at different bait categories and in different microhabitats.
