Not, they are different species of ants, the discothyrea are small , the Dinoponera are big.

I think the little ant is called Discothyrea sexarticulata, and it got its name from a person named Borgmeier.

Are small ants parasitic to big ants?

I for one am grateful that when we make earth uninhabitable for ourselves that ants will become the dominant species. they're so fucking cool.
