Don't know if its true, but this is one of my most favorite quotes on ants:

>"But the bulldog-ant of Australia affords us the most extraordinary example of this kind; for if it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head seizes the tail in its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head: the battle may last for half an hour, until they die or are dragged away by other ants. This contest takes place every time the experiment is tried."

Bull ants don't f*ck around.

There are even a couple in that family of ant that have workers who are able to turn into queens unlike the normal/classical way that ant colonies work. They live more like cockroaches - a sort of collective of sisters.
