    1. I'll take that compliment - not sure how true it is though ;) thank you very much. Happy to be contributing. Posted 10 years ago
  2. Great shot. A lot of commotion and activity and social interaction. And like you said ... whenever something tasty presents itself, chew it to the bone !!! Posted 10 years ago
    1. Thanks :D Given the size of the Pheidole, they have to work together to cut the food up as best they can and get it back to the nest before something else eats it! Posted 10 years ago
