Ant (Dolichoderus scabridus) (1/7)

Hymenoptera: Formicidae

Dolichoderus scabridus  

I watched a small colony of these ants climbing up a small dead tree beside a watercourse. The weather threatened rain and perhaps they were heading for somewhere safer from inundation.

Dolichoderus scabridus are small ants, about half a centimetre in body-length.
