These ants get angry when someone goes near them, by shaking their antennae angrily at the person. If it is within reach, it will give you a painful bite which swells. They form colonies by joining the leaves of plants together with a white sticky juice. When it falls from a height, it exudes this string like the spider. It is a nuisance in any garden.
