In C. diversa, small workers make up the bulk of foraging parties, while scattered soldiers often carry large objects, food items, or lift debris off the trunk trails. Chapman J. W. 1965.

Rizali A., M. M. Bos, D. Buchori, Sk. Many suppliers sell queens with only a small number of workers which can easily die before a new brood is raised. Due to their raids, Carebara species are often compared to army ants, but there are some important differences: Carebara species have been described as very aggressive when hunting or defending their nest, but there are contradictory reports about how they react to other ant species: Generally, Carebara species are said to avoid fights with other ant species (a keeper has reported he almost lost his colony to a Lasius niger invasion and watched Carebara evading smaller Pheidole pieli, but a keeper who intentionally kept C. diversa with a Crematogaster species in the same terrarium reported that Carebara workers had attacked and killed Crematogaster workers.

J. Linn. 6: 81-89 (page 86, Carebara as genus), Wheeler, W. M. 1910b. 5. Fam. A. During the dry season when other food is scarce colonies will collect large amounts of seeds and it has been recorded that over halfof their food intake at these times consist of various seeds. The powerful soldiers usually act to protect the colony with their small, slender workers. The size difference is notable and can be used as a distinguishing factor as C. diversa queens are circa 2.2 - 2.4 cm in size, while the queens of C. affinis are only 1.5 1.8 cm. In mature colonies these hunting swarms can be 10,000 plus strong and resemble the famous army ants of the Amazon, attacking and consuming anything edible in their path. Within this time the colony has to raise a significant number of new workers to replace the old ones. Yamane S.; Bui T. V.; Ogata K.; Okido H.; Eguchi K. 2002. (n.s.) The difference in size between the minor and supermajor workers is said to be the greatest of all ant species and the supermajors can weigh up to 500 times the weight of one of the smaller workers. ), Silesia, Poland (Late Miocene), Sicilian amber, Italy (Late/Upper Miocene), Zhangpu amber, Zhangpu County, Fujian Province, China (Miocene) (an unidentified species, Wang et al., 2021).

Emery C. 1893. J. Genet. Encyclopedia of Japanese ants. Queen size: 23-25 mm. C. diversa is a predator of small animals such as insects (Moffett, 1986). This species breeds quickly so in all probability these smaller colonies are already close to collapsing and although they initially seem good value, in reality, they are a waste of money. Bharti and Kumar (2013) also pointed out the necessity to restructure Fernndez New World species group definitions in order to incorporate the much more species-rich but poorly studied Old World fauna.

The fact that many museums only have minor workers of the typical Carebara (that is, the lignata species group) could be due to the reason pointed out above, and in reality all of the species of this complex may be dimorphic. Polymorphism is more noticeable in the major worker caste, with some species having four sizes of major workers (e.g. Some species (e.g. Zryanin V. A., and M. V. Mokrousov.
