4 part Ant?

Can’t believe what I saw crawling at the back of my car last Thursday. As I looked at it closely…it has 4 parts!!! Well at least I thought I saw 4 parts. I remembered when I was in primary school, it was suppose to have 3?

So I decided to google it. Again! :D Is this an abnormal ant? Well to my disappointment…It is actually normal. :( Thought I made a discovery but I guess I wasn’t really paying attention during Biology class. Lol! With reference to http://www.infowest.com/life/antbody.htm

Ant Anatomy

The trunk may look like 2 parts sometime. It’s like a hump. All the six legs are attached on its trunk. Take note, 6 legs and not 8 legs. ;) According to the site, ants are closely related to other stinger insects. Spiders are suppose to be a breed on its own. Ants have a poison sac too but I guess the poison is too little to kill humans. Unless the whole army stings you of course! Go read up on it. It’s interesting. Well…at least it is to me. =x
