The redness comes from the diet of the male. Females prefer redder males when choosing a mate. b) In some species of frogs, smaller males will cue in on a larger male’s calls and try to intercept females before they reach the calling male. c) In some colonies of Argentine ants, workers will kill off males in order to bias the sex ratio so there are more females within the colony. d) The parasitoid wasp Pachysomoides fulvis will absorb the colony smell and will be able to move freely on the nest of the social wasp Polistes and lay its eggs in the cells of the host wasp’s nest..
