"Hantik" The Giant Ants
We call this "Hantik" in tagalog in the Philippines. You got to be careful when you these kind of ants, usually they crawl in the green leafy trees. I used to climb many trees when I was young. I've been bitten many times by this "Hantik". Their sting and venom can really... really hurt once they bite you. They don't really attack as long your are not on their way.
These ants are different from a regular ants, these are bigger and red in color. Have you ever seen or been bitten by these ants?
