Here is a brief video of a Bornean giant forest ant, Camponotus
gigas that we found near our camp in Ulu Kimanis, Sabah. This large worker ant
was nearly 3cm in length and was surprisingly docile - although apparently when
provoked this species does deliver an extremely painful bite! The footage gives
a good indication of the ants enormous size as it climbs upon my colleagues
wrist.
