Southern Florida ~ October 30th

Found tonight at 10:00 pm in Southern Florida. She measures in at 5 mm. Her behavior was opposite to the rest of the ants I have caught, she wasn't energetic and only moved when the test tube was turned a certain way. Her abdomen is a dark brown/black. Her head and thorax is red, with black ocelli. Her legs and antenna are all the same lighter brown color.

Pheidole queen.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
