I say "arguably", because THERE ARE CONTENDERS

@alexwild oh my god it's the ant equivalent of https://salticidae.org/salticidImages/pages/ecuador/images/image32442.html

@alexwild I used to follow you on Twitter. I am glad I found you here 🐜 🙂

@alexwild Well, nobody will complain about CWs on this one

@alexwild
what are the odds that the world's cutest ant is actually a species not yet described by taxonomists?

@alexwild 😍💚💚💚

@alexwild Golden Orb ants are my fave. They are here in Asia (#Malaysia). They are one of the good kinds of ants you want as neighbors - they won't invade your house, and even keep away other kinds of ants that will invade your house. They're black, with a shiny anodized golden color butt segment; has a nice sheen in the sun.
I have no good photos of them, and I can't find any on the internet either.
Seen at #Penang Botanical Gardens, near the secret Garden, also at Nandaka #Buddhist monastery.

@alexwild hmm and the panda ant? #cuteness
