Is the Muto a Leptomyrmex (aka spider ant)?

I was attempting to figure out the possible species of the Mutos in the 2014 Godzilla film. My going in facts that I was using to try and ID it were... 1: The folks who've seen the 2013 SDCC trailer describe it "spider-like". 2: The official toy descriptions (aka the pre-orders) also describe it with wings. 3: As a visual aid, I refereed to this fan art [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/261/2/0/2014_godzilla_bug_by_akagigryphon-d6msvxh.jpg[/img] I knew it wasn't a spider, for no spider has (nor need) wings. But we do have many insects that mimic other insects. I searched and searched and found this [img]http://www.lasius.narod.ru/antRef/2010/Lucky6.png[/img] and this [img]http://richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Nature/Ants/SpiderAnt.jpg[/img] It's called a "Spider Ant" (Leptomyrmex) and there are several members in this species. The queens are even winged! These bugs 'might' be our insect that got mutated into the Muto. It's the only thing (so far) that seems to fit the description.

I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.

John 3:16, Job 41:1-34, Leviticus 18:22

Great observation. Maybe the queen one will be slightly be more of a challenge for Godzilla

That's a good eye there! I can see some visual similarities to these creatures that resemble that of others! However,I feel as though these guys aren't just gonna be made from one creature specifically. Perhaps a bit of a blend will shake things up.

I definitely see the similarity, nut i don't know if they will mutate into Muto. Probably more likely that(s)he is based on these horrifying little creatures.
