摘要：
Dear editor,Polymorphism refers to two or more clearly different phenotypes coexisting in the population of a species. It has been observed and studied among ants, bees, wasps, termites,dung beetles and stag beetles (Trible and Kronauer, 2017;Zhao et al., 2019). Size and shape variation of these holometabolic insects, especially ants, usually happen in larval development rather than adult stage. Worker polymorphism,
