Myrmica scabrinodis scabrinodis

Subspecies of ant

Myrmica scabrinodis scabrinodis is a subspecies of ant that can be found everywhere in Europe except for Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canary Islands, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Monaco, Madeira, Monaco, San Marino, Slovenia, and Vatican City. It is unique in that it reproduces by ejecting pheromones from its postpetiole directly into the mandibles of its mate. Female ants of this species can also reproduce through thelytokous parthenogenesis, but, unlike most ant species during this process, the individual will rupture the membrane of the gaster, causing a burst of secretions containing their offspring in addition to acetophenones and other chemicals.
