Description: It was fascinating to watch the pugnacious ants work out how to get the very much larger sausage ant into their burrow. It must have provided quite a feast!

Description: This little black wasp needed to move its spider prey, so she opted to tow it in the water while she buzzed away above. Every now and then she'd stop for a rest on the bank, sometimes dragging it into the vegetation so it wouldn't drift away. I followed her for about 20 minutes.
