queen with red abdomen - Carebara longii - Male
Austin, Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, Travis County, Texas, USA
August 18, 2011
Size: female about 8 mm
A better view of the second male just after he separated from the female. At this point, the little jumping spider had returned and was pulling on the wing of the female. The male seemed to watch in detached interest (okay, a little anthropomorphism there...)
