Description

Ants moving house - about 600mm distance from where they were collecting their eggs to where they were taking them.

They are about 5mm long and to the naked eye look all black - it was not until on screen that I say the colours.

The third photo shows a dark spot in the egg, which I am guessing is the ant embryo.
