An alate queen of Acropyga paleartica MENOZZI, 1936 was observed to carry a worker pupa during dispersal for independent colony foundation. The observed behaviour is suspected to represent a redirected\ activity in connection with the fixed behavioural mechanism of Acropyga to carry a coccoid larva during\ dispersal, mating, and nest foundation.
