I stumbled across this little guy a couple of days ago and have never seen an ant like this so decided to take a photo, unfortunately my camera is not the best though I think it is enough to identify what kind of ant it is.
I can't find anything online that resembles this little soldier so wondered if anyone can tell me?
Any ideas please let me know!
It is possible that this is an ant-tailor, or this is Mycocepurus smithii, in this species all the feminine ants

it's a weaver ant, tree ant.. I didn't realise it was a queen so had difficulty identifying it. It looks like a nice ant!

Yeah he could have probably taken my leg off in one go. I really do wonder what it is though, someone told me it was a carpenter ant but I don't think it is.

Honeypot ant
Honeypot ants, also called honey ants, are ants which have specialized workers (repletes, plerergates, or rotunds) that are gorged with food by workers to the point that their abdomens swell enormously. Other ants then extract nourishment from them. They function as living larders. Honeypot ants belong to any of several genera, including Myrmecocystus and Camponotus.

Yes, I can copy and paste too.

The interesting thing was this ant not only had very earthy green and brown colouring but is was also mat as opposed to glossy... I'm still not sure.

It's a queen ant, but I do not know of any butterflies. But he raised a good question. I was fortunate to see you in your cooperation. Thank you so much for you.
