Their common name, &quot;acorn ant&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;,&lt;/ins&gt;&quot; results from the fact that an entire colony (which typically contains between 50 and 200 worker ants, along with several queens) can live in hollowed-out nuts, such as acorns &amp;lt;ref name= &quot;Diamond&quot;&amp;gt;Diamond, Sarah E., Chick, Lacy D., Perez, Abe, Strickler, Stephanie A., Zhao, Crystal.
