I've gotten into Speculative Evolution recently and I had a thought. Would it be possible for current ant species to converge with the extinct Haidomyrmecines in the future? Evolution is very strange and Harpegnathos seems like a good candidate for a future Haidomyrmecine-type ant. They do look quite similar in my opinion.

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes):
★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (
Myrma)
cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly
Zatapinoma)
Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.
