Yikes! that looks like a nasty gang. Really, I wouldn't want those to be after me. Neat that you got a picture of them.

I am not sure what they eat but when they were disturbed by me they moved like a school of fish without attacking. Originally Posted by Nicks Pics

I wish I had the speed to upload the movie I took. They move beautifully. Originally Posted by Shadowman

Hard to see at this magnification, but they look a lot more like beetles than ants to me.

Covered wings make me wonder about some form of beetle? Or failing that a species of bug?
Definitely something we don't get in the UK.

I go with species of bug. We do have larger beetles of that colour but without those incredibly long antenna. Originally Posted by Geoff F

it was hard to miss two largish orange blobs on the bamboo. My first thought was that they were eggs. But when our handyman got them to move by touching them... Originally Posted by Wavelength

Re: @250 tiny red ant like insects in @10 Sq.Cm (some in focus)
They were in a very awkward place to get close to. The type of place where snakes and other biters hide so the only option was telephoto. But I may have been smarter to type 'beetle like'. Originally Posted by DanK
