Since there were no objections after a month and a half and only one supporting comment, I merged the non-duplicated content from Driver ant into this article and placed a redirect. siafu 23:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Interesting, I didn't know the swahili word for ant (Siafu) has been adopted in English. What happen to the swahili article for the ant, since siafu redirect here?

The article siafu has always been a redirect. Driver ant (now a redirect, but you can see the old content in the article history) did not have any interwiki links, so if there is or was a siafu article on a swahili wikipedia (though I can't find such a project listed on the front page) it was never connected to here. siafu 09:16, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Could someone with a legit picture of the siafu post it in this article. It is hard to understand exactly how mean looking these ants are without a picture. Jdufresne 17:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] There's no reference to the sizes of the driver ants in this article

I suspect that a substantial proportion of the readers who look up this article would like some indication of how big the driver ants are. I prefer not to directly edit a Wikipedia article without being sure of the accuracy of my input, but, according to a fact file on the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature, driver ants known as "workers" are about half a centimeter in length, "soldier" driver ants are almost 3 times this "size" (I believe they're referring to length here), the males ("sausage flies") are about 3cm long, and the queens are up to 5cm long.
