Kuching is a city of about half a million people located on the third largest island in the world. The Dynomyrmex gigas can be found in the city some of the time. Here is a photo from iNaturalist of an ant in traffic on her nuptial flight. She would have come from a colony of at least several thousand ants.

I think this is a queen not a drone since the drone have very small heads.

It's fascinating to me that these ants aren't exactly rare in this part of the world.
