Small black ants (Lasius niger) on an old stone sink planter in the garden. I baited some with some spots of honey, in the meantime another one was wrestling with a dead fly. The ants are about 3mm body length

    Their strength is amazing, wouldn't it be nice if we could just lift heavy loads with such easy nod.gif

    Hmmmmmm I think I'd rather have the sweet honey than the dead fly for dinner rolleyes1.gif

    Great Series Brian, thanks for sharing thumb.gif ... Skippy :D

    Cool to see those little buggers up close. Are those the same black ants in the states?
