This is an ant Camponotus herculeanus which has a slightly larger body than carpenter ant in general.
Hercules ants have large and very strong toothed jaws, but do not have venom in their bite but will cause a little pain because of their strong bite.
I was interested in taking pictures of these ants because I saw their activities that got along very well with each other.
Among the many ants, I saw an ant that had a larger body than the others, maybe he was the king or leader in this group.
I caught the activity of the ant king teasing the ant queen while showing his big mouth and twirling around the queen, maybe this is an attempt to do marriage.
