アメイロアリ Nylanderia flavipes

　ムクゲの花に、透明できれいなべっ甲色をした小さな蟻がたかっていました。後で調べると、このアリの名前はアメイロアリでした。

　There were some small ants on the  the Hibiscus syriacus flower. It was a transparent and beautiful tortoiseshell-colored ant. Later, when I looked up the name of the ant, I found that it was a "ameiro-ari". In Japan, ameiro means candy-color and ari means an ant.
