About 100 ant species have no queens. All the workers in these species are wingless, fertile females and one usually takes on the dominant egg-laying role. To mate, she leaves the nest, performs a mating dance of sorts, releases pheromones, and attracts a male. She then copulates with him and, in some species, carries him into the nest and bites off his genitalia. The genitalia will continue supplying her with sperm for an hour or more. The male dies.
ALSO!! Fun lil ant fact (Other than the fact that I HATE them)
Queens of some ant species can live for as long as 30 years and can produce hundreds of millions of eggs over a lifetime.
(No wonder there are so many ants!)

Not so fun fact: we have ants at this very minute. They are at the base of our tub and in the kitchen (next to the sink and trash, of course). We've been waiting on the pest people all day.
*irritated*
In terms of females killing the males, my two favorites are the praying mantis and the black widow spider.
