Two on One, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7573
Two red wood ants (Formica rufa) which have captured some sort of green caterpillar (no idea on species).
This is actually not the correct angle. I found these two on a concrete wall and they seemed to struggle with carrying it upwards (though ants usually seem to be strong enough to carry anything).
They wouldn't be ants if they didn't have a bunch of buddies so a third one joined them and promptly carried it up. Since most people watch the shots in landscape orientaition, I rotated it 90 degrees and ended up with this.
