Studying the acid ant that had wandered near him, Walker found that its yellow color would match the dried grasses all around the tangle vine trees they lived in. However, its thin legs were ideal for dashing around and avoiding larger predators. It also must make them more mobile in the tangled mess that was their home.
As the smaller scouts like the one he was watching came near where the camp was being set up, they would rush away. A few other ants had approached but they hadn't attempted to even spit acid at them in any way. It seemed that they understood the larger threat that their camp would become if they bothered them.
Meanwhile, another group of scouts had already reported back on a few acid ants carrying away the remnants of what had to be a separate colony living in another small grouping of tangle vine trees. It seemed that the expedition had arrived just as a war between small colonies had finished.
