On top of the wild grass I managed to find a group of red ants, it looked like these ants were climbing the wild grass, I don't know what the ants were doing.It seems like there is something that this group of ants is looking for, I saw these ants as if they were lost and only going back and forth on one blade of grass, there were so many of them that I didn't dare to touch them.According to the information I know, these ants are not dangerous to humans, but it is also not recommended to play with them. These ants have a very beautiful color, namely orange,the size is also not too small and not always big, and what is certain is that these ants live in groups.
According to my father, this ant has a very strong smell, this smell will be released by this ant when it starts to feel threatened, but I myself don't know whether that is true or not because I don't dare to hold this ant.
Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of these ants here.
