I'm not sure what kind of ant this is. He's a bit larger than a common fire ant. Maybe about 1/8 of an inch longer, or so. Still messin with it in post.
Neat ant - though looks like he's running away! Tricky devils to get them still, nearly always moving around when I see them. This reminds me that I still need to get a hip-flask specifically for carrying sugar water around with my (tried honey and whilst it works it can be somewhat messy and - overall - distracting when taking pics) http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2337/3543473338_2c4f70ee8b_z.jpg?zz=1
Yep, he was tough Mr. Overread. They never stop. This one is unlike any ant I've ever seen. He senses movement and hides. It was a strange thing, as ants go. Not sure what kind of ant this is but the senses are keen.
