Tetramorium caespitum and Anergates atratulus - Anergates atratulus - male

Tetramorium caespitum and Anergates atratulus - Anergates atratulus - Male
Repentigny, Lanaudière County, Quebec, Canada
September 25, 2007
A Tetramorium caespitum (on the left) carried this Anergates atratulus male away from the colony. This time, the Anergates died quickly after being abandonned.

He did look...
in poor condition already. Maybe he had simply exhausted his normal life-span.
