An all female ant-species has been discovered that breeds asexually and contains no males. They don't scavenge for food as a colony, but rather eat in large groups with each ant bringing a different food item to each meal. While needless aggression over finding male mates is not a problem for these colonies, scientists have noted that when they feel slighted many of the ants hold a grudge for a long time and try and turn their friends against their antagonist. Colonies of the species seem to be concentrated in Northampton Mass, Portland Oregon, and Grand Rapids Michigan.
