Odontoponera denticulata Ponerine ants do not perform trophallaxis, as such, they employ other methods to feed or hydrate their colony members. They can build and store droplets of water between their mandibles and transport them back inside the colony.

I know pretty much know nothing about ants, but I'm guessing this a queen on her nuptial flight. Correct me if I'm wrong please. Any idea what type of ant? Sorry I had no banana for scale, but I'd say she's a bit bigger than your typical sidewalk ants, yet smaller than a carpenter ant
