There is a similar harvesting of winged edible ants around the end of April and June in Chiapas, Mexico, perhaps Guatemala too? Perhaps it is the same ant? Cuvtixo 03:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC) reply

Although I can't answer I know there are other Atta species in the regions you mentionned, maybe it's simply a different species. Pro bug catcher ( talk • contribs). 00:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC) reply
