Observations

Yellow crazy ant-the ant was light orange, and we could see that it’s legs were as long as it’s body if not longer. We could confirm it was an insect because its body is divided into 3 segment and has 6 jointed appendages. Unlike many ants yellow crazy ants’ legs are extremely long and they are bent all the time, and it has long antennae.
