This large black and gold ant is a solitary hunter. She felt threatened by my camera and assumed an aggressive stance with the legs wide-spread, the tip of the abdomen curled forward and the mandibles wide open. She has very small, rather simple eyes.
On the ground, rocks and low roots. Chorreadero Park, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas.
