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

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic increase in flying ant numbers over the last few years? Usually around late summer when they take to the air to cause maximum annoyance...
EDIT: Come across them in multiple places in the United Kingdom so it's not just one specific location.
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").
