Myrmica scabrinodis is a fascinating ant species found across Europe, known for its diverse nesting habits, foraging behavior, chemical communication, life cycle, age-related polyethism, solicitation behavior, physiological adaptation, and nuptial flights. The species exhibits queen-controlled colonies, with a few hundred workers and one or a few queens in each nest. Workers have been observed robbing insect prey from Drosera species and engaging in foraging behavior. Mandibular secretions of M. scabrinodis have been shown to inhibit pollen germination, and the ants have been observed robbing insect prey from Drosera species. The general life cycle of M. scabrinodis has been studied intensively in Scotland, including the role of the species in moorland ant communities. Age-related polyethism has been demonstrated for M. scabrinodis workers and larvae, and solicitation behavior for trophollaxis has been described in the species. Further research is needed to fully understand the biology and ecology of this complex species.
