Absolutely beautiful.
I never realized how remote the antennal bases are from the clypeal border in this genus. This face looks rather Camponotus-like.
Indeed, a lovely ant! But, what is that it is tearing into?
Hi Alex, pleasse could you take a look at my post and help me identify a few ants and ant-spiders. (http://naturemagnified.blogspot.com/2010/02/ants-spiders-and-ant-spider…) Thanks.
