About this species
Eciton hamatum is a species of army ant in the subfamily Dorylinae; it is found from Mexico to central Brazil and Bolivia. The species differs from Eciton burchellii, in that it does not fan out into the underbrush when foraging. Rather, it forages in columns, often in trees and preying exclusively on the larvae of other social insects. Its prey are often broods of vespid wasps and ants of genera Dolichoderus and Camponotus, suggesting that E. hamatum is mainly an arboreal forager.
They are known to make living bridges with their bodies over small gaps.

钩齿游蚁（学名：Eciton hamatum）属于行军蚁亚科之下的游蚁属，从墨西哥到巴西中部以及玻利维亚均有分布。该物种与布氏游蚁（Eciton burchellii）的不同之处在于它在觅食时不会散开到灌木丛中。相反，它以列的形式觅食，通常在树上，专门捕食其他社会性昆虫的幼虫。其中通常包括胡蜂、臭蚁属和弓背蚁属的幼崽，这表明钩齿游蚁主要是一种针对于树栖的觅食昆虫。
它们可以用身体在狭小的缝隙间搭建起活桥。
