Scientist discovered a new species of ants in Brazil. The insects have no eyes, its body is pale, and the mouth is bigger then its whole head. Because of the Martialis huereka researchers rethink about the history of ants. Martialis huerekas DNA shows that it is distantly related to any other ant species. Its so distant that i should be in another subfamily. Also, scientist say that the Martialis huereka is from the earliest ant family. They also found out that it lives underground and that can explain why they are blind and pale. Finally, scientist are now finding out if ants first evolved underground.
