Ben S<p>And now for something different. This is one of the trap-jaw ants. If you know which one, please let me know. Several months ago, we had major rain and wind storms damaging lots of trees. I found this colony under a broken branch that has started settling into the dirt. After snapping a couple of pictures, I gently placed the branch back where it was. It must be quite stressful for them.</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Formicidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Formicidae</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Odontomachus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Odontomachus</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/haematodus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haematodus</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ants</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insects</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/SriLanka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SriLanka</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Macro</span></a></p>
Ben S<p>Back on by bullshit about the weavers again... It's not my fault... They are just too interesting.</p><p>The weavers were oddly calm today. No defensive posturing or holding their front legs and mandible wide defensively. I don't think I was sprayed with formic acid once. Then I saw this odd scene. Four weavers all biting and pulling a tiny black ant apart. Two of the executioners sat and preened each other as the other two absconded with the corpse. </p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Formicidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Formicidae</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ants</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insects</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Macro</span></a></p>
