What do acrobat ants look like? 

Acrobat ants are named for their acrobatic movement of raising their heart-shaped abdomens over their heads when disturbed. They may also emit a foul-smelling odor, so be cautious when disturbing them! These ants are small in size and can range from black to yellowish-brown in color, and some may even be multi-colored.
