Just last month ago they 'attack' many people in Java. I'm probably one of the victim, but I never see them directly. bad enough! haha ...

Thanks Johan and Dragon. And really thank god, I didn't touch it. Gosh!It's dangerous.

It's a good thing you didn't touch it! They apparently leave nasty rashes on people.

It was running very fast so I couldn't take a close-up.

Looks like an ant but has a stingy looking tail.
