Repletes are specialized worker ants that primarily serve as living storage units for food, particularly in species like honeypot ants. Unlike ordinary worker ants, which engage in foraging, nest maintenance, and caring for the young, repletes have enlarged abdomens that allow them to store liquid food. This adaptation enables them to provide sustenance to the colony during times of scarcity. Their role is crucial for the survival of the colony, especially in harsh environments.
