can't guarantee this is an ant, but shares many characteristics with one. Ant was collected in South Georgia minutes ago while collecting solenopsis queens. Ant is about the size of my false honeypot queen (small). Ant has florescent white/green dots on gaster that appear to reflect light

Maybe it's from the angle of the photo, but it looks a bit like the scape is missing, maybe it's some kind of myrmecophilic beetle?


Um, uh, Ants!

I agree with NPLT. It seems like a beetle morph.


Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia
