Green Ants

Looking Close... on Friday: Two of a kind.

Beaded Green Ants; souvenirs from the Northern Territory.

(Real) Green Ants have ascorbic acid rather than formic acid so they can be eaten as a little Vitamin C boost ... 'though they may give you a bite first, which citrus won't😁They build a leaf nest in the trees.

I took them out again today to take photos in a tree ... a breeze knocked them off the branch and now there is only one! I can't find the other green ant in the grass! Surprised I found one, to be honest.
