Field Notes

Description:

It's an ant, 2 cm long

Habitat:

Atlantic Rain Forest

Notes:

It was seen twice, in an area close to the biggest river in the region.
It was alone...unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to watch it and find out other facts, such as where it was going or if there were others around.

Mirian, esta, na verdade, é uma vespa, também conhecida como "formiga de veludo". Eu fotografei uma na mesma área: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17102204.
