i5K Comments for Paratrechina longicornis
The longhorn crazy ant Paratrechina longicornis is a highly invasive agricultural and household pest throughout the tropics and subtropics, and a pervasive indoor pest in temperate areas. This ant has a unique reproductive system: Sterile workers develop from sexual reproduction between queens and males, but queens are clones of their mothers, and males are clones of their fathers. The maternal and paternal gene pools are thus separate, which eliminates the costs of inbreeding. This genetic system likely facilitated the establishment of the crazy ant as an invasive species. Eusocial. invasive, clonal males & queens ISIGC
