The ponerine ant Diacamma sp. from Japan (the only species of the genus Diacamma found in Japan) is a monomorphic ant. The colony size of this ant species ranges from 30 to 200 workers. Young workers (typically 0–30 days of age) stay inside the nest and care for the brood (i.e. eggs, larvae and pupae), whereas workers older than 30 days start to forage outside the nest for various terrestrial invertebrates [52]. The lifespan of individuals is approximately one year in this focal ant [53].
