In the wild the species are only found in the Castanheira Valley on one of Madeira's Desertas islands. Their main threat is the spread of a grass in the genus 'Phalaris', which covers soil and rocks making micro habits beneath them harder for the spiders to access. By Jonathan Coles.

A queen of Lasius niger , a common ant found in Europe , lived for 29 years in captivity, while the queen of the urban Pharaoh's ant, Monomorium pharaonis , lives for only three months. The queen of the leafcutter ant from South America produces million workers during her year life span. The first phase of colony development is the founding stage, beginning with mating, when winged males and virgin queens leave the nest in massive swarms called nuptial flights, searching out a mate from another colony.

A similar fate awaits the male ants, none of which survive after mating. After mating, queen ants and male ants lose their wings. The queen scurries off in search of a site to start her new nest. If she survives, she digs a nest, lays eggs, and single-handedly raises her first brood that consists entirely of workers.

In leafcutter ants, adults emerge 40—60 days after the eggs are laid. The young daughter ants feed, clean, and groom the queen ant. The workers enlarge the nest, excavate elaborate tunnel systems, and transport new eggs into special hatching chambers.
