Arboreal Bicolored Slender Ant
Tetraponera rufonigra
This long-legged ant patrols tree trunks, branches, and nesting cavities in tropical and subtropical wooded habitats. It hunts small arthropods and also takes sugary liquids and other available foods while moving rapidly through the canopy. A painful venomous sting is its notable defense, backed by strong mandibles and an alert, agile hunting style.
