長腳捷蟻工蟻體長0.45-0.5公分，身體外形細長，觸角和各腳也特別細長。腹部、觸角基節和腳腿節為褐色，頭部、胸部等部位為橙褐色。體色略帶透明，腹部較深具褐色環節。本種是戶外常見的漂泊蟻，習慣於枯竹莖孔洞裡築巢，爬行速度快。某一隻死亡後，隔不久會有同伴來將死屍扛走。長腳捷蟻是雜食性的昆蟲，在自然環境中，常常會攻擊昆蟲來當食物來源，這2隻正在奮力地把受傷的黑棘蟻搬回蟻穴當食物。

The Anoplolepis longipes worker ant is about 0.45-0.5 cm in length, appearing long and slender. The antennae and legs are also gracile. The abdomen, basal segments of antennae, legs and femurs are brown. The head and thorax are brownish orange. The body is slightly transparent with brown rings on the abdomen. These are common tramp ants in fields, where they build nests in bamboo cavities and climb quickly. When one of these ants dies, other worker ants clear it away. As they are omnivorous, they prey on insects. This image shows two ants working together to bring an injured Polyrhachis dives ant back to the nest.
