Nomamyrmex esenbeckii
Monte Bella Trails Park, Cameron County, Texas, USA
July 21, 2019
Trail of ants running up and down a tree, spotted by Brandon Woo. Once disturbed, they rapidly disappeared into the hard packed soil in less than a minute with not a single ant left behind. Very exciting to see, good to know they're still in the area after such extensive human development!
