A founding queen of Azteca alfari establishes a colony in a young Cecropia sapling, typically Cecropia pachystachya, having chewed her way inside a young, hollow shoot. The tree provides nourishment for the ants in the form of Müllerian bodies, glandular areas on the leaf stalks that produce oily secretions, nectar from the female flowers and pearl bodies on the surfaces of the leaves. As the tree grows, and the colony enlarges, more of the hollow branches and twigs are occupied by the ants, but the central trunk and larger branches are progressively abandoned. Some of the ant larvae develop into reproductives, which remain in the colony and start to breed, while others become workers.
