The Wrinkle Looks Ugly

I thought this ant was just a regular ants that I found in the abandoned yard behind my parent's house. I was a little bit disappointed that the yard seemed to have been cleared lowering the chance for me to find an insect to photograph.

Until I checked on the shaded area under a few big trees the area which I usually skipped since there seemed little activities going on. Then I stumbled upon these ants moving around.

I didn't notice the ugly wrinkle on the ant's body when I took the photos. I noticed it when I tried to edit them in Lightroom. It also has a lot of hair on its body.

It also has some spikes on its body. And because of that, I think this ant fall into the Polyrhachis Genus.

Then I saw the ant fighting because there was another ant invading the area of the previous ant that I photographed.

The smaller one looks defeated, and then it was carried away out off the winner area.

So far based on what I read on the internet, they are not poisonous eventough their appearance might suggest that.

Gosh... This ant is really scary, but you take it very well, the wrinkles of this ant's body are very clearly visible.
Good shot my friend
