Under the heading: Division of labor • I added the following text: “Soldiers are typically larger with a more developed metapleural gland specialized for colony defence or food acquisition. A worker ant is generally smaller than soldiers and queens, and its main task is to assist the queen in rearing the young. Workers vary in size more than soldiers. This considerable variation in size may have played a considerable role in the evolution of "large workers" in this genus [13].” • Reference 13 is a new source that I used and is cited here: Peeters, Christian, Chung-Chee Lin, and Yves Quinet. "Evolution of a Soldier Caste Specialized to Lay Unfertilized Eggs in the Ant Genus Crematogaster (subgenus Orthocrema)." Elsevier 42 (2013): 257-64. Web. 10 Nov. 2013. Under the heading: Habitat • I added the following text: “Acrobats ants can be found either outdoors or indoors with great frequency in each case. Outdoors, acrobat ants are usually arboreal, but they often live in many common areas in the wild. These areas are typically moist and are often dark.” Under the heading: Defensive Behavior • I added the following text: “The ants apply froths to conflicting organisms. The froths are applied in a "paintbrush" style manner to surround the offender. "Frothing" has evolved independently in ants and grasshoppers.[11]”

I have continued adding content to this article. I added a new section, named "Division of Labor", and included relevant information with references.

The article had very little content beyond the Lead In. I included information about predation, predation of wasps, reproduction, defensive behavior, mutualism, and trail-laying. This information is bracketed by scholarly references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DC9001 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mention etymology

http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/470186002 says

etymology fact: Crematogaster, composed from latin crematus + greek gaster means burning stomach (with reference to the secreted acid) but many specialists believe this is a typo error and the name was intended to be Cremastogaster, from greek cremasto=suspended + greek gaster, meaning suspended stomach with reference to the special attachement of the abdomen and the possibility to raise it. Both names are well suited for this ant :)

So do mention something please. Jidanni (talk) 03:09, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
