Definition
A family of small passerine birds found in Central and South America, commonly known as antwirds or antbirds, that often follow army ants to feed on disturbed prey.
Etymology
From Latin 'formica' (ant) + '-idae' (taxonomic suffix for a biological family). Named for their association with ant colonies and tendency to feed near foraging ants.
Kelly Says
Antbirds are nature's clever scavengers—they follow army ants through the jungle, not to eat the ants but to snatch up insects that panic and flee from the ant swarms, making them accidental partners in predation.
