With regards to the Formica rufa workers carrying around others piggy back fashion Jon, this is a common trait of these ants, even if it is a bit odd. Why they do this behaviour I am not exactly sure about, though often smaller worker ants will cadge a lift from their bigger sisters, either for protection or just out of laziness, as ants rarely get tired or exhausted.  ;D |

After seeing your latest photo of the 3 Formica rufa workers with their captured centipede prey, I am really looking forward to the new set of photos you've done over the last month Jon.  |
