The Colony is a professional wrestling stable currently performing for Chikara. As their name suggests, their gimmick is that of an ant colony, which is further reinforced with their names being based on particular ants (Fire Ant, Green Ant / Silver Ant, and Carpenter Ant) and classes within an ant colony (Soldier Ant and the first and second Worker Ants).
Originally debuting at the 2006 Tag World Grand Prix as a tag team consisting of Fire Ant and Soldier Ant, The Colony later grew to include a number of new members. Since debuting, The Colony has seen championship success in singles, tag team and trios competition. In Chikara, Fire Ant and Soldier Ant are one time Campeones de Parejas, Fire Ant is a one time Young Lions Cup Champion, Fire Ant and Soldier Ant won the 2008 Tag World Grand Prix, Carpenter Ant won the 2009 torneo cibernetico and Fire Ant, Soldier Ant and Green Ant (now known as Silver Ant) won the 2011 King of Trios.
In addition to Chikara, the group has seen success in other promotions. Silver Ant is a one time Wrestling is Fun! (WiF!) 24/7 Champion (as Green Ant) and won Chilanga Mask's 2015 Torneo de Parejas alongside Ophidian, the second Worker Ant (as assailAnt) is a one time WiF! Banana Champion, and Fire Ant won the 2014 Forza Lucha Cup.
