Chrysalis, despite having lost her hive, still has a few loyal changelings at her command. Few though they may be, she sends them out to look for other hives to form an alliance and take down the ponies that stole her children and position away from her.
One such bug is a blue 'prince' who has stumbled upon a particularly thick forest on a continent two days away from Equestria by sea. With high hopes, he attempts to initiate contact, but these bugs are quite...obnoxious to deal with. The prince's patience will be pulled and stretched to its limits as he tries to negotiate with the queen. It doesn't help that these changelings possess physical features that make them terrifying up close.
Written for my friend Blueberry Soda Kryostasis.

Very amusing. Meat-eating ant changelings. Maybe you'll write another chapter where the two queens meet?
Formicida is the ultimate troll. I await more.
Army ant Changelings? Certainly diffrent than the blue black beetle types we know, of the jewel scarab types the reformed changelings are. Formicida is clearly used to dealing with dumb questions, her drones don't come of as bright,and meeting a changeling who was actually smart she couldn't help teaseing him. Though I am curious the greenlings act like haveing a princess and queen at the same time is regular operations, got a feeling Chrysalis never had Princesses once she became Queen cause she feared being usurped and only reluctantly created Kyro and his brothers because even though the are Princes they can't start their own hives.
Toarx only gets away with no Queen cause Reformed drones come in both genders and are fertile, thus how Ocellus has her own parents and siblings instead of Chrysalis being her mom.

I...didn't actually think that far ahead as to the specific type of ant.
