Solitary black ant.

D7100/Tamron 180mm Macro.

This ant is a small species (about 1/4" long), This species is very unusual because only one solitary ant is ever seen. I often see one of these while I'm poking around the garden, but I've never seen more than one at a time. Downloading is recommended.

Nice shots, Earl. Maybe he's a hermit.

He's a solo ant, Earl. He gets down so low you can hardly see him. (I know, bad pun). Nice photo, though.

Great shooting, Earl.
Can you send one here? Maybe it'll cross-breed with our fire ants and decrease the fire ant population. Please, oh please - we need a solution.
