Insects of the land: Anorcetus Ants

The Anorcetus Ants are predators. They live in tropical areas of the land, and build giant colonies given time and room.
Diet:
The Anorcetus Ants are predators, but have a very flexible diet. When a colony is small, it will feed upon rival colony's and their eggs, but once they grow in numbers large enough, they will swarm, and in most cases, take down any mammal that is unlucky enough to come across them while they are in need of food.
Ranks:
Anorcetus Ants have a number of ranks within their colonies. Here they will be listed:
Queen(The matriarch of the colony, overall commander)
Greater female(The heir of the queen)
Lesser females(Will become queens in a new colony when their queen dies)
Caretakers(Female ants that care for the grubs) 
Greater males(The mates of the queen)
Queens guard(Protect the queen)
Hunters(Protect the nest, hunt for food, fighters)
Worker ants(Build nests, feed grubs, laborers)
Drones(Used as mates)

Color: Red, one black stripe near the end of the body.
