So today when there was a slight break from it, I went out searching for my picture(s) of the day along with a picture for Mellow Yellow Monday .
Finding nothing, I was looking down putting my camera back in it's case when I noticed an ant hill right smack in the middle of the street.
A little shocked by this, (after all, where were they digging? this was asphalt!)
Bringing my camera back out and putting it on Macro mode, I just started taking pictures when I saw this one ant with almost a whole worm in his mouth!
And this little guy was really trucking. I actually had a hard time keeping up with him on these shots. I know that ants can carry some outrageous amount of weight compared to their body weight, I just never paid enough attention to the fact that they could also carry something darn near as big as them.
So this is my picture(s) of the day for this blog and my Mellow Yellow Monday pictures. I figured the worm was yellow enough,but when I brought them in the house here and downloaded them the little yellow rocks were just an added bonus. LOL!!!

Wow. Red ants! Aren't those the ones that have a ferocious bite? But they certainly are hard working little critters.
Those ants are amazing indeed! Enjoy your Monday!
Such an industrious little critter! Great macro shots.
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow that's pretty cool and kind creepy all at once! LOL Those ants are busy!
Love this post! Ants are so industrious aren't they. I'm fine with them as long as they stay OUTSIDE. Wish you could send some of that rain our way. We need it so here in So Cal! I played at Happily Retired Gal and Small Reflections on Monday but haven't had time to visit until today.
Hugs and blessings,
