Messor Barbarus in natural habitat Taking a walk in Arillas, the path I was on was swarming with messor barbarus ants in the undergrowth. The only course of action? Get down on all fours and take a picture of these seed carrying wonders in their natural habitat. These hold special interest to me as I have a colony myself - it's always nice to see them running wild in the world :) Ants,Geotagged,Greece,Messor barbarus,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
