I really like to take photos of these red ants because they usually don't move so fast when I try to approached them, and then take photos of this guy. They might scared a little bit but they will not run as fast as the other ants.
These guys are the red ants of Oecophylla smaragdina and think I have already shared some of the shots of this same species with you all here on hive.
The contrast of its black eyes and the dark red color of its body looks really nice. But don't take them lightly since they have such strong fangs, because once they bite you, it will be quite painful.
I took these photos on two different occasions, the first two in newer than the last tree. Believe it or not, I took them in the same mango tree that belong to my uncle.
