Teamwork, Pt. 3 - _TNY_8131

Here is one of the first shots I took after upgrading to the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens back in early 2019. I used to shoot using the older, non-L 100mm and I've been very happy with the upgrade - even if I don't use the image stabilization at all.

 

A trio of red wood ants (Formica rufa) helping each other drag what I believe is the remains of a leopard slug (Limax maximus), presumably back to the nest.

About a meter from these four, I found another ant dragging a paralyzed spider back to the ant hill: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48014972283/ and www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48906462162/ and www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52692911529/
