'''''Carebara''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [ant](/source/ant)s in the [subfamily](/source/subfamily) [Myrmicinae](/source/Myrmicinae). It is one of the largest myrmicine genera with more than 200 species distributed worldwide in the [tropics](/source/tropics) and the [Afrotropical](/source/Afrotropical) region. Many of them are very tiny cryptic soil and [leaf-litter](/source/leaf_litter) inhabitants. They nest in rotten wood to which the bark is still adherent in the Afrotropical region, or may be [lestobiotic](/source/wiktionary%3Alestobiosis), nesting near other ant species. Some species are known to exist parasitically within [termite](/source/termite) nests. Little is known about the biology of the genus, but they are notable for the vast difference in size between queens and workers.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Aldawood | first1 = A. | last2 = Sharaf | first2 = M. | last3 = Taylor | first3 = B. | title = First record of the myrmicine ant genus ''Carebara'' Westwood, 1840 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Saudi Arabia with description of a new species, ''C. abuhurayri'' sp. n. | doi = 10.3897/zookeys.92.770 | journal = ZooKeys | year = 2011 | issue = 92 | pmid =  21594112| pmc = 3084545| pages=61–69| doi-access = free | bibcode = 2011ZooK...92...61A }}</ref><ref name=newscientist>{{cite web|last1=Wild|first1=Alex|title=Ants use their flattened heads as doors to lock down their nests|url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28481-zoologger-ants-that-use-their-heads-to-lock-down-their-nests/|website=New Scientist|accessdate=18 November 2015|date=11 November 2015}}</ref>
