Hi Lepidofrance,
You've been fooled! That "ant" is a beetle as suggested by RJB - it is a species of Cerambycidae. Many cerambycids exhibit this type of mimicry, looking like bees, wasps and they can be excellent mimics of ants. There are many genera and species that are mimetic, and the lateral view of this one in the image doesn't show enough to give you a better ID.
Cheers!

So some are killed by tigers, lions, terroriss. And some are killed by an ant.
Life is dangerous.

If you mean the ant in the photos above it is Tetraponera rufonigra, but somehow I suspect you are talking about a different ant as that species doesn't normally live inside high apartments. Perhaps you have photos of your ant but don't know how to post them here. See my post in the Technical issues section at insectnet.proboards.com/thread/4692/picture-attachment for how to post photos. You have to use a (usually FREE) photo hosting website and put the link to each photo in your post. Please also tell us where in the world the apartment is located. That is important for identification. Adam. |
