User's notes
A dolly ant. (maybe around 12 mm) These guys are so difficult to get a decent photo of - perhaps because of the metallic nature of their bodies. I took dozens of photos and still not a good clear one! In the last photo a small ant is biting the leg of the ant on the right, and the ant on the left comes to assist its mate.
