My idea is a catalog of different ant's traits. It would be a list featuring the species name, and then the attributes of the ant. For example:

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis - bad climber, heat loving, stinging, seed diet.
Or
Monomorium pharoanis - small size, polygynous, escape prone, large colony size.

This would provide quick and easy information to whoever needs it. Say I want a small ant colony with small workers. All I would have to do would be ctrl + f and type is "small size" or "small colony" and I could find species that fit that tag. What are your thoughts on this idea and how realistic do you think it would be in function?
