User's notes
Some of these small ants were carrying larger, winged individuals. Perhaps queens? They were holding them somewhere on the head with the bodies curved back over them. This reminded me of previous observations in sightings 4206928 and 4247203. They were too small and too fast to get clear photos, but a couple are shown more clearly in the accompanying sighting ( 4656980).
