What Kind Of Ant Is This?
I stumbled across this little guy a couple of days ago and have never seen an ant like this so decided to take a photo, unfortunately my camera is not the best though I think it is enough to identify what kind of ant it is.

I can't find anything online that resembles this little soldier so wondered if anyone can tell me?

Any ideas please let me know!

It is possible that this is an ant-tailor, or this is Mycocepurus smithii, in this species all the feminine ants

it's a weaver ant, tree ant.. I didn't realise it was a queen so had difficulty identifying it. It looks like a nice ant!

It's a queen ant, but I do not know of any butterflies. But he raised a good question. I was fortunate to see you in your cooperation. Thank you so much for you.

<b>Honeypot ant</b>
Honeypot ants, also called honey ants, are ants which have specialized workers (repletes, plerergates, or rotunds) that are gorged with food by workers to the point that their abdomens swell enormously. Other ants then extract nourishment from them. They function as living larders. Honeypot ants belong to any of several genera, including Myrmecocystus and Camponotus.

Yes, I can copy and paste too. **`>:(`**

*The marks on the abdomen are similar, this may be a collector of the same species.*
