Outline looks good.

Are there any organisms that are dependent on these ants?

I know there are Ant-birds that actually follow the ants when they're raiding an area. It turns out that the ants tend to scare out the insects these birds feed on. So it's like easy food following the ants. I'm not sure if the Ant-birds affect the ants in anyway.

Not sure if you wanted to include something like that:)
