From outside the Kheora mine, there is this small factory ( a run down one ) and in the exact middle I found these big ants.
...this Black Garden Ant (Lasius niger) appeared and attacked the loiterer with her jaws and formic acid sprayed from her rump. I apologise for the quality of the photo: it all happened quite suddenly and both were moving pretty fast.
Ants can be such a PITA. I wondered why this harvestman was running around at high speed until I saw it had a red ant attached to it's rear end
Thought he could move a rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant...can't
Move a rubber tree plant
but
He's got high hopes,

Green Tree Ants, also known as weaver ants build balloon shaped nests among the foliage of trees and shrubs with larval silk.
This little army of green are very territorial and workers aggressively defend their territories against intruders, inflicting painful bites and sometimes spraying formic acid at the bite wound.
You can see the fork in the ant roads there. As i got a closer look I could see a small team of ants clearing leaves from the path.

Saw some ants today marching up the side of the bee hive. When I investigated by taking off the roof this is what I found. They obviously did not like the wet ground so moved their brood to a nice dry place with underfloor heating. They were immediately evicted.
Aahhh, Leg d'Ant was indeed tasty, but it sure doesn't compare with the Head!
I'm thinking this would go well as a framed picture in either the kitchen or dining room. What do you think???

The Scottish Wood Ant is the biggest ant in the British Isles. These three mounds were found in a forest in Aberdeenshire.
The ants have taken over one of my compost bins. It's full of larvae. Now I don't like to disturb them.
I do apologies for uploading this again albeit in slightly larger format simply because I was amazed when I look at the sheer strength of this ant as it dragged and chomped its way though this orb spider which a predatory wasp had momentarily abandoned.
The spiders eyes can clearly be seen something that again amazed me.
Hope you enjoy looking at this as much as I did. You can tell I am a novice but keen.
