Ant's Wasp

Lumby, BC

Not the best shot, but posting it because it was
amazing that the little ant was able to drag the
dead wasp across about 2 ft. of our deck. The
wasp must have been 20 times the size of the ant.
Took about 1/2 hr. !! The ant's shadow makes it a
bit difficult to see.

Canon EOS 6D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/2000s f/4.0 at 100.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

They say that ants can carry 20 times their body weight! This little ant is doing a great job even though its taking him a long time. Great shot, Gill.V!!!

a prize too rich to let pass by...what a trooper to persist for so long...the ant's shadow actually gives a good sense of depth..

That's a spectacular image and story Gill! I have read that an ant can lift up to 100 times its own weight! V
