This beautiful lady is Solenopsis invicta. Measuring barely over 2 mm long, she is a member of an incredibly successful species.
Unfortunately, she is far outside her native range, and doing incredible damage to her local ecosystem.
It isn't her fault that she's a fire ant.

Here's one example of a myrmecophilous beetle that attaches to (and seemingly mimics) ant abdomens. Found at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica and described in 2017. #ant #beetle https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/bmcseriesblog/2017/02/10/newly-discovered-beetle-species-travels-back-army-ants

Muscleman tree ant (Podomyrma gratiosa), so called because the large femur makes her looks like she lifts!
This is worker #ant, possible character in some nonexisting cartoon 
Silent, invisible fixer. Someone having own role and goals. Not a family person , not a leader.
Did it some time ago, today I would create it in more steampunk style or rather go full Da Vinci. It has enough arms for this 
I could be this ant... working somewhere in the background. Without focusing dangerous attention on me.
Hello. Here's a couple of wee creatures on an adventure for you. May your Tuesday be delicious.
Love the gi-ant swings beside the House for an Art Lover in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park.
VIDEO. Hi han dies que val més quedar-se al llit. Aquesta femella de Podalonia tydei va intentar repetidament trobar un punt adient per excavar un niu. Va treure rocs i munts de sorra. Malgrat tot, va seguir excavant en altres punts, però el que no esperava era trobar una formiga emprenyada que li mossegués una pota (25").
