Slim and Shiny ant

It was quite an unproductive photo hunt day at that time, because most of the creature seem to sense my presence and most of them are hiding away from me.

I had been moving around the villa area, and it seem nothing is moving in the foliage of the bushes which also means there are not much movement of the small creature which usually become my photo subject.

On the last attempt checking on the bush, I notice that there was this solitary ant. He seemed to be quite lazy, because he has not move much just like how the other ants usually move.

It has a very slim body, and quite long, and also it looks so shiny. I tried to check it trough google lens, and it suggests Tetraponera family for this cute ant.

But I was a little bit happy since it mostly stay stil in the same leaf and branch when I tried to take photos of it. Most of the ants will usually just go away when I do this, especially the ant thathas this kind of slim body.
