Yeah I was just checking FC to see if someone had posted already.

This is a pretty good article with more visual illustrations:

I guess the ants-eating-roaches/termites thing has been going on a long time.... (They also reference Dracula ants in the article.)

Ceratomyrmex ellenbergeri capturing Caputoraptor elegans ...

Wasn't there a Walking With Beasts episode that featured "giant, carnivorous ants"? I don't think they were these, though.

I only saw giant spiders, centipedes, and dragonflies in any of the Walking With Beasts episodes, but maybe I missed them.
