... that aardvarks and pangolins both feed on the common pugnacious ant?

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Meh. Honestly, pangolins and aardvarks eat ants. That's basically what they are known for doing. Hence the colloquial name, anteaters (sentence four in the header of that article). So given these are ants, I would be more impressed if pangolins and aardvarks didn't eat them. I first read the article to check if you meant that they fed exclusively on these ants, that could be interesting, but no, they just eat them where these ants happen to make up the majority of ants in the neighborhood. May I make a counter suggestion? This is called the common pugnacious ant, pugnacious meaning "eager or quick to argue, quarrel, or fight." I see a line in the article that says "is a very aggressive ant ... Nevertheless, it has been shown to be tolerant towards ants of its own species from other colonies." That seems more "hooky" to me - it's aggressive, but not towards others of the same species. If only we humans were so! Want to make a hook based on that?
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
As nominator mentions, it's slightly over 7 days since the beginning of the 5x expansion (started on 16th, nominated on 24th) but I'm going to let it slide. A slightly more interesting hook (after all, it's an ant, we can only ask for so much), and it should be good to go. I'd also consider putting the infobox picture of the ant here as well, its a fine pic. It may or may not be the most interesting picture of the DYK field for that day, but we should give the people putting that together the opportunity. GRuban (talk) 21:32, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- @GRuban: I don't think the image adds much to the hook. What you say about pangolins and aardvarks is true enough. How about ALT1? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:29, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that despite being very aggressive towards other ants, the common pugnacious ant is tolerant towards ants of its own species from other colonies?
