This looks like Pachycondyla rufipes to me. If you could follow the information in the ID guidelines I would be able to get a much more solid ID.

You're from Hong Kong, right? Remember to include your location with every ID request.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Black lives still matter.

Seeing as though there are alot of black ants. Please also take a clear picture from the front somewhat and the top. Also include your location. And any marks you find might help us identify it. Thanks!
