병정개미, or soldier ants, are a type of ant known for their large size and strong mandibles. They are part of the Formicidae family and serve a crucial role in their colonies by protecting the queen and the worker ants. Their physical characteristics, such as their robust bodies and powerful jaws, make them effective defenders against predators. These ants are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they build nests in trees or underground. The presence of 병정개미 helps maintain the balance of their ecosystem by controlling pest populations and contributing to soil health through their foraging activities.
