Normally the ants I spot in #CPBBD videos are fairly common species, but this video had a real treat.
Rare ant alert! The ants on the Psudobombax sp. are Cephalotes sp. (often called 'turtle ants' for their broad heads) possibly Cephalotes atratus? They have hard exoskeletons. They are arboreal & known for their ability to jump from a tree branch then & glide back to the trunk without hitting the ground. A magnificent ant on an excellent plant!
Sometimes I think about asking if he could slow down and get better footage of the ants... but might ruin the challenge of trying to spot them and identify them.
If someone were to buy me a boat ticket to Borneo or Brazil. I might not ever come back and just wander for the rest of my life looking at ants.
