this ant appeared to be carrying two ants locked in a death grip. It dropped them unceremoniously then returned whence it came.

These are REALLY interesting Toby. I often find myself wondering what these (and other) little creatures are up to when I am watching them. :)

all I know is at least one was still alive (just) after the healthy one had departed. Possibly one was an intruder that locked onto a guard and couldnt be shifted so both were got rid of.

Cheers for now
