I Brought Lunch! - _TNY_1551
At my mom's summer house I noticed something larger than just an ant running around and when investigating, it turned out to still be an ant - but one that brought lunch!
This is a red wood ant (Formica rufa) who have caught - or simply found - some sort of hoverfly and was carrying it back to the nest.
The ant was in a hurry so I was struggling a bit to keep them in focus while panning along the ground to shoot it, but ended up with a couple of useable shots in the end.
