I bet he got stung a few times taking a shot like that of those fire ants.

An ant with incredibly large eyes, this lovely photo of the South American and Gigantiops destructor taken by Alex Wild. The species name suggests a very hostile ant, but it isn't as bad as its name applies.

Not sure what species these are, this is a great photo of ant repletes taken by Yinzhu Li.

I know a guy who keeps this species. They are absolutely amazing! The red heads do it for me.

I found some lovely photos of different tropical Camponotus species, and they are such beautiful ants for colouration. Camponotus gigas Camponotus aurocinctus Camponotus suffufus

Alex Wild took this photo of a Myrmecia (Bull Dog Ant) on a recent trip to Australia. The ant is biting the skin on his hand, but she had lost her gaster and so was unable to sting, which would have been very painful from what I have heard about these ants.

How long do you guys think the ant with her gaster missing would live for?

How long do you guys think the ant with her gaster missing would live for? At a guess no more than 2 or 3 days.

The first photo shows a queen of the species Camponotus semitestaceus, and below it are her first workers. Photos taken by Jeff Balderston.

Thomas, I would love a colony of this species but they are found only in the USA as far as I know, so I don't know of anyone who sells them in Europe or the UK.
