Loads of the little buggers in Worthing today

You would have been astonished by my flying uncle after he grabbed my mum's arse in public after she asked what the best view was from the church courtyard.

Here's a question for any Ant enthusiasts
Just spent the last 10 minutes watching an ant drag one of his dead comrades across the garden patio, and got thinking is he dragging him to some ant burial ground or is he dragging him home for tonight's dinner?
Thanks for any explanation

Did he look like he was related to the dead one?

Only difference was one had wings the other one didn't but apart from the wings identical, maybe one was bigger than the other as well

I remember in the (excellent) film 'Phase IV', which is about normal size ants becoming very intelligent, there are shots of ants dragging dead comrades away and laying them down in lines. I never knew whether it was real or stunt ants but it was beautifully shot. The only film Saul Bass directed I believe. It's very good

Maybe it was his Dad? "C'mon Dad, wake up!"

He is playing a game of Ant Charades with his Ant chums in their Anty burrow, and he's trying to silently create an image of the Pink Panther theme tune. He'll need at least half a dozen before they guess correctly.

Guess we'll never know, liked the post from@brakespear though about linning the dead up like world war 1 graves in perfect lines
I'm intrigued all over again now

Amazing to think that smaller ant is able to carry an ant 4 times his size, looks like he's trying to get him to sit up in this pic..... It's too late son, he's gone

Seen 2 dead seagulls on the roads today, they get so greedy they forget to get out of the road.
