Mirror turtle ant
Mirror turtle ants (''Cephalotes specularis'') are a species of ant that mimic other, unrelated ants (''Crematogaster ampla'') in order to steal their food.
==Discovery==
Assistant professor of biology Scott Powell at George Washington University discovered them while studying turtle ants in Brazil.〔http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-10/gwu-ncw100114.php〕 Powell has said that the mirror turtle ant represents a glimpse of the early stages of social parasitism, before the parasite has "lost much of its free-living biology".
