It is known for Australian bulldog ants (Myrmecia piriformis) to bully huntman spiders (Delena cancerides), literally evicting them from their burrows. NW oldier ants of the genus Pheidole have been reported to evict effectively wolf spiders (Hogna caroliniensis). Do you know any further examples of these interactions?
