    recently deceased, the nanitic workers never last long, and are only around to get the momentum of the colony going. later workers live for years.

    Camponotus fragilis

    queen and new workers. These new workers are called 'nanitics' and have a short lifespan; their purpose is to survive long enough to sustain the queen for a second brood- this second brood is far more robust. This species is from the scrub and deserts of the southwest states
