Hungry
By @dikyedarling (Indonesia)
It is a fact that ants can carry 10 to 50 times their own body weight, which is much stronger than how much us weakling humans can carry.

They are incredible, the way they take care of each other, their 'livestock' (yes, they keep other insects, protect, shepherd and take care of them in return for the sap they produce) and their colonies, and kill any ant from another colony that dares to trespass, because they are immediately aware that it's not one of theirs. They also often manage to find a solution and use things that can be used as tools when they meet a pretty serious obstacle during their tandem runs. Brilliant creatures.
We do know the strength of ants, but seeing this does keep us in awe !!!
Wow! I know some species of ants are very strong, but this has got to be a record breaker! Crazy!
The ant does not carry the flower, it is an insect-pathogenic fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis
Though Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is a real and crazy thing that happens to ants, in this instance, it's just a flower.

We are fortunate to have these wonderful posts, pleasant to see, also learning more about our beauty in nature !!!
These photos are just breathtaking and so incredibly beautiful. These photographers have a true eye for beauty and composition. Amazing.
With a camera, there are great opportunities to find little creatures, then enlarge on the computer you see details that unable with the naked eye, being an amateur, this excites me, I have some shots I have actually printed !!!
So many of these pictures are just amazing. I wish I could've looked at all of them, but the images of the wasps and stuff just made my skin crawl and I didn't make it through them all.
