However, they have also been observed to forage opportunistically on fungi, dead animals, flesh, and fecal matter as well. ""Trigona fulviventris"" nests are made in the ground, often near buttresses and roots of large trees, and have also been found in urban areas (particularly in crevices in walls of buildings). There is one entryway to each nest, which is made large enough for many individuals to pass through at once."

They include the following: Super Elfin series is the dominantly available commercial cultivar group. This group of impatiens was bred by Claude Hope in Costa Rica. Mr. Hope developed this species from its native wild form into one of the most popular bedding plants in the world. The following cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit:- Impatiens downy mildew has spread widely in recent years and has seriously damaged the commercial production of ""I. walleriana"" hybrids."
"Impatiens hawkeri Impatiens hawkeri, the New Guinea impatiens, is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is native to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It has been bred and hybridized in cultivation to produce a line of garden plants. It was first collected in the Territory of Papua in 1884 and soon became popular as a greenhouse plant. After its discovery, fifteen other similar New Guinea taxa were collected, all of which were later determined to be forms of ""I. hawkeri"". Plants with a great variety of flower and leaf colours are sold in nurseries."

One ""in vitro"" study found extracts of this impatiens species, especially of the seed pod, to be active against antibiotic-resistant strains of ""Helicobacter pylori"". It is also an inhibitor of 5α-reductases, enzymes that reduce testosterone levels. In Korea, the flowers are used to produce an orange nail varnish. The naphthoquinones lawsone, or hennotannic acid, and lawsone methyl ether and methylene-3,3'-bilawsone are some of the active compounds in ""I. balsamina"" leaves.
