''Crematogaster peringueyi'' is a southern African arboreal species of ant. They are commonly known as the black cocktail ant or swartwipgatmier (Afrikaans) for their colour and habit of arching their tails when alarmed. ==Habits== They make their nests in old ''Protea'' flowers,〔(Ispot )〕 dead, hollow branches, and under tree bark, also making nests constructed of well-chewed vegetable matter with the consistency of papier-mâché. The outer walls of these nests are blackened by the salivary secretions, and are thin, with the interior divided into irregular, connected cells, like a coarse sponge. These more or less spherical nests, ranging in diameter from 10-30 cms, are built in a fork or among the branches, some of the branches passing through the nest.〔http://www.ecotravel.co.za/african-wildlife/animals/invertebrates/insects/cocktail-ants-genus-crematogaster.htm〕 Workers are glossy black and 3–5 mm long while the larger queen is about 8 mm long, both having heart-shaped abdomens.
