Anochetus ghilianii is a species of ant of the subfamily Ponerinae, which is native to Morocco, and it also has a not confirmed status in Gibraltar and Spain, as scientists are not sure whether its native or exotic due having a very low area where it lives in the Iberian peninsula (Only found in the province of Cadiz in Spain).

The worker numbers can vary from 250 to 300 in the early months of the year to just 10 to 50 in the summer,[2] thus the colonies are not very big and the nests are usually 20-30cm deep.

These things mean that it is impossible to confuse it for another species from those countries.

The stinger is used to inject a toxin that paralyses its pray.

The mandibles can be both used to bite and snap it against something to propel themselves backwards for a quick escape.
