User's notes

A red bull ant with the rearmost half of its abdomen being black (photo 3). The body looks to have more than the standard 3 segments of an insect (photo 2), and the head almost ends in a chisel shape with the eyes on the front corners, and a creamy-yellow pincer just in a bit from each eye, (photo 1). Photo 4 is for context.
