	Bullet Ant reproductive cycles consist of two stages. The Nuptial phase, which occurs once or twice a year. Reproductive males and virgin queens leave their nests in search of mates. And the Mating phase, Female ants set out with male Bullet Ants in large swarms. After mating, both male and female ants lose their wings. Female ants find a place of their own. <sup>[2]</sup>		Bullet Ant reproductive cycles consist of two stages. The Nuptial phase, which occurs once or twice a year.

	The Bullet Ant or ''Paraponera clavata'' is a species of ant that is native to the rainforests of Central and South America. ~~<sup>[5]</sup>~~ Colonies can survive anywhere from 30 days to several months and reach up to 10,000 workers. The Bullet Ant is known for its incredibly powerful and painful sting that is said to be comparable to being shot with a bullet. The Bullet Ant is also known as Hormiga Veinticuatro or 24-hour ant since the pain from the sting can last up to 24 hours. <sup>[1]</sup>		The Bullet Ant or ''Paraponera clavata'' is a species of ant that is native to the rainforests of Central and South America.
