Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the Cretaceous period, about 140 million years ago, and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. More than 12,500 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and the distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists.

Bothriomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae.

Felix Santschi was a Swiss entomologist known for discovering that ants use the sun as a compass and for describing about 2000 taxa of ants.
