| Observations | I found this ant in my back yard behind some rocks. The temperature kind of felt humid that day, if I had to guess the temperature I would say it was around 70-75 degrees F. When collecting the ant it seemed to be slower than most but it was able to dodge my trap by weaving through the rocks. |
