Giant Ant biting me, ouch!

I saw this Camponotus sp. ant on a tree trunk so I thought I'd take a few shots of her.

After just a couple of shots, I felt a sharp pain on my left wrist! It was another ant - biting me!

Luckily, she was biting me on my left wrist, at a spot I could reach/photograph. Whew!

The bite wasn't really that painful.
