Featured Article: Army ant
Army ant (or legionary ant) is the common name for the members of more than 200 known ant species, in different lineages, characterized primarily by their aggressive predatory foraging groups, known as "raids," in which huge numbers of ants all forage simultaneously over a certain area, attacking prey en masse. They also share the habit, unlike most ants, of not constructing a permanent nest and an army ant colony moves almost incessantly over the time it exists.
Popular Article: Medal of Honor
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government. It is bestowed on a member of the U. S. Military who distinguishes themselves "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." Because of its nature, the medal is frequently awarded posthumously.
