I noticed that the ants travel in zig zag paths to find food. They also tend to be in the shade rather than the sun unless there is food.

I found this ant at minute 3 of my experiment as a scout ant. The ground cover was mulch and the wetness was moist. The cloud cover was partially cloud with 22 degrees Celsius. The distance to water was 2 meters and the irrigation type was drip irrigation. Multiple ants came after this to total 20 ants. This ant moved really quickly. Vegetation nearby was a jasmine plant.

I believe this is a willow-leaved shepher because it was about 6ft tall and about 5ft wide which coincides with a full grown tree. This tree was close to the lake which coincides with the willow-leaved sheperd's ability to grow roots under lake/river waters. It's leaves were 3.5 cm long and .5icm thick which coincide with average leaf dimensions. It's abiotic limiting factors in sight were soil, water, and full exposure to sunlight.
