Formic acid (HCO2H), also called methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid. Formic acid was first isolated by the distillation of ant bodies and was named after the Latin formica, meaning “ant.” Its proper IUPAC name is now methanoic acid. Industrially, formic acid is produced by ...
46 formicine species were observed at carrion in 26 studies. The subfamily Formicinae is another diverse, cosmopolitan group that includes about 3600 described species (Ward, 2010). These ants do not possess stingers, produce formic acid, and have acidipores. Most species are generalist ...
