@futurebird Interesting. Some crematogaster groups must just be mad all the time then. Like weaver ants... they are never happy to see me... time to go poke at some valentine ants I guess. They aren't super common here in Sri Lanka though.

Here is another ant.@futurebird And visually, that makes sense. So I stick with valentine... These particular ants didn't walk around with their tushies in the air business that many of them do. They were more arboreal than the groups I usually photograph too. So then I was thinking, since they are often running on railing or on thin twigs, are these the acrobat ants? Stupid common names....

Here is another ant.Here is another ant. I still haven't gotten clarification on how the common names are applied to this group. I learned them as valentine ants, but it seems like most call them acrobat ants and yet others call them cocktail ants. If you know something about how or when to apply these common names, please let me know.
