@dantheclamman We have species of those ants here, too! :D

@dantheclamman Mostly in the Negev, Aravah, and Dead Sea regions.

We also got those African-Style driver/army ants.

@Surasanji
Yeah I saw this black desert ant near Sinai! I guess there's a couple kinds of Sahara ants in Israel! They're fun to watch
