* Battle *

As I was about to leave the other morning I found these two having a little dispute on the hood of my truck. Although much larger, the black ant seemed to be subdued by his opponent. Possibly just a lucky grab by the red ant, or maybe better training in the art of combat, the red ant was not relinquishing its hold on the antennae of its victim.

You can browse through my past archives and read about another incident where a red ant colony had taken over a black colony and used them as slaves.
