Autumn is here

I wish Australia had colorful autumn like most of the other places.

Red Bull Ant

25 mm

Red Bull Ant is also known as Giant Bull Ant. They are one of the largest in ants species. They have long, straight and powerful jaws and a potent sting. They have good vision and responded to our approaching even when we were meters away. Red Bull Ants have a reddish-brown head and thorax but the back half of the abdomen is black. Their log jaws are brownish-yellow.

Red Bull Ants build their nest underground and have quite extensive tunnel systems. The nest entry is usually covered by dry plant materials and dirt. The dirt is loosely scattered around the nest mound. Two or three bull ant guards can often be seen in the immediate opening area, keeping a sharp eye out for any possible intruders.

I'm going through very stressful time. I really miss relaxing, being with friends, chatting, drinking wine especially when sun is shining.

These are part of my friends over here. We went through good days and bad days together.
