User's notes

An ant being carried by another in the same way as seen in sighting 4206928 (Polyrhachis ornata), although this one didn't seem very cooperative and they separated after a bit of a struggle. This was the only carrying pair, although there were other individual red-legged Camponotus around (sighting 4247295).
