Another ant from Costa Rica; looks like an army ant, but seemed to be lost. Maybe Eciton sp.?
Any ID possible?

Eciton burchellii (Westwood, 1842), soldier. Difficult to say the subspecies, according to Santschi, 1925d, the soldiers with entirely yellow head and without blackish epistome and cheeks should be subsp. foreli. |
