76561197963331809: The scientific name used in the game should be the one prominently displayed on this page, even if it is no longer accurate for the real world. I've changed the footnote to be about the change to carbonarium.

=='''Trivia'''==
*Although the ants are called ''Monomorium minimum'' in the game, more up-to-date scientific literature describes them as ''Monomorium carbonarium''.

*In real life, little black ants disperse venom in the air instead of stinging. In the game, you can see the stingers during gaster-flagging animation.
