Biological Polymoprhic Caste
What is the largest species with a polymorphic caste system like ants (soldiers and workers)?

Re: Biological Polymoprhic Caste
What do you mean by largest? Just largest in size? Off the top of my head I would think that'd be naked mole rats or a similar species if one of them is larger.

Re: Biological Polymoprhic Caste
Is there any fossil evidence for a species with a larger average body size or is the mole rat it?
