在火蚁S.invicta中，性成熟的处女在交配后的存在下被阻止脱落翅膀和成为有功能的蛋鸡。实验数据表明，这种抑制效应是由交配后产生并由工蚁分配的相对不挥发的引诱信息素(或信息素)的作用所致。目标蚂蚁既是处女蚁后，也是工蚁。
In the fire ant S. invicta, sexually mature virgin females are prevented from shedding their wings and becoming functional egg layers by the presence of the mated queen. Experimental data suggest that this inhibitory effect results from the action of a relatively nonvolatile primer pheromone (or pheromones) produced by the mated queen and distributed by the workers. Target ants are both virgin queens and workers.
