Spiny Ants (Genus Polyrhachis)Observer
carissaaaDescription
The ant is a golden brown color, coming off slightly metallic in my photos. It is larger than the average ant, maybe about 3-4cm in length. Its abdomen is medium-sized and droops downwards. The antennas and legs of the ant are a darker red-brown color and look to be quite long. If you look closely, you can see some sort of double, curved hooks on its thorax and abdomen. This as well as the color of the ant is what led my assumption that this organism is a Fish-hook ant (can be found in Sumatra/Borneo so would not be uncommon if it was introduced here).

Peacock Flower (Caesalpinia pulcherrima)Observer
carissaaaDescription
The Bird of Paradise is an extremely popular plant found in Singapore. The color of the flower is a gradient of yellow to orange to a very vibrant red. It has very long stamens that are also bright red in color (probably to attract bees/butterflies). The buds of the flowers are about 2-3 cm in width and is a mix of red and green (the same green that the stem is - slightly lighter than fern green. There are about 10 flowers sprouting from each stem, with petals that look very sensitive/thin (wrinkled/crumpled). The leaves of the plant are small and shaped like a basic teardrop. There are about 20 perfectly spaced on each branch.
