Polyrhachis Illaudata
An peculiar ant with golden yellow and black stripes across it's abdomen. The yellow parts are covered in hair.
Singapore American School rainforest, near the edge of the tail where there was a cluster of leaves. Also seen on the avium plant.
I wonder if it is warning other animals that it's dangerous to eat with it's stripes. (mimicry?)
