Polyergus lucidus
''Polyergus lucidus'' is a species of slave-making ant in the subfamily Formicinae. It is endemic to the eastern United States. It is an obligatory social parasite, unable to feed itself or look after its brood and reliant on ants of another species of the genus ''Formica'' to undertake these tasks. Parasitic ants are known as "dulotics" (from the Greek "dulos" meaning a slave) and the ants they parasitise are known as "hosts".
==Description==
''Polyergus lucidus'' is part of a group of six orange-red or dark red species of ant, mostly from eastern North America, that have long, often dark-coloured appendages and few hairs on the dorsal surface of the gaster. The worker is long and has a head longer than it is wide, crowned with about a dozen short setae (bristles). It is red with the legs and the tip of the gaster often being tinged with brown. The specific name ''lucidus'' means "shiny" and this ant is the shiniest in the group and has a glossy mesonotum and gaster, and a moderately shiny head.
