Today I have this frequent model that I have posted a few times here on Hive, and the reason is that this guy are quite easy to find around my place, and also sometimes they can be really slow and when they are on the mood they can be a good model with better pose for me, compared to their black compatriot.
Yep the black ants usually moves really fast, and once they find that my move are a danger sign they will literally run, which makes it super hard for me to take thier photos.
But this weaver ant is usually different, they move in a slower face, and since they are pretty big, they were hardly frighten much with my presence, so that it wanted to stay still and give me more chances to take several photos of it.
But despite their slow moves, don't take them very lightly because it can be proven to be a fatal guess. As you can see thier fangs are sharp and big, and thier bite can be quite a nuisance. So better be carefull as well.
