Cyphomyrmex wheeleri, the fungus gardening ant, is a species of higher myrmicine in the family Formicidae. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Cyphomyrmex is a genus of fungus-growing ants found primarily in South and Central America. However, some species do come up to the southern portion of North America. They grow a variety of fungi in the tribe Leucocoprineae. Most fungal gardens are grown in small nodules, some species to cultivate entire mycelium, though. Colonies are monogynous and are relatively small with about 100 workers on average.

Camponotus vicinus is a species of ant in the subfamily formicinae. C. vicinus is widespread throughout western North America, from Alaska, south to Mexico, and east to Texas and Manitoba. Unlike its wood nesting "carpenter ant" relatives, Camponotus vicinus is typically found nesting in the soil under stones and other objects. The giant ants in the 1954 film Them! are identified as C. vicinus, despite multiple anatomical differences, including the presence of a sting, which is absent in Formicine ants.
