Neosukalensis socius is evolved from N. communa and lives in Zone F. It has evolved to dig larger nests, being up to 12 feet deep and living in different chambers. At the entrance of the nest is droppings from individuals and the exoskeletons of past meals. The nest is large because it has many members, sometimes up to 75. In order to fit so many of these in a nest, they’ve gotten smaller, being just 3-4 inches as adults. Since they’re so small, there will be small groups of 4-8 that go out as hunting/defense parties. Parties stay together by feeling around with their antennae, and therefore stay in a group if they can feel each other. They now have a spike to emit pheromones more accurately, which is on the fourth segment. The dominant male in the nest now chooses a female, which mates with him and, soon after, eats him. This individual typically lives for a few years which is enough time for exiled males to come from other colonies. They leave droppings and hiss whenever they notice something is nearby in their territory. Territories can span up to 80 meters, however colonies are usually not next to one another so conflicts aren’t always a problem. N. socius gets small balls of nutrients from Sukalensis sourcus which it eats or brings back to the nest. They have longer antennae, larger horns, and are dark green. They’ll also prey on Sukalensis jorfunus, Varanusuchus sp., and are more aggressive in July when food is lower. They’re still omnivorous and will sometimes eat Lorensia potensus.
