ANTSTORE World of Ants

[jeoff82]

What are those ants that I always see in woodlands running up trees? They are very big, all black in colour and extremely fast moving.

Most likely wood ants, as they are our biggest. Although I only see red wood ants climbing trees, the black one seem to stick to the ground where I live.
