Ant - Formica
Copyright © 2008 John F. Carr

Ant - Formica
Moore State Park, Paxton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
August 9, 2008
Size: 4 mm
The non-anty parts belong to a Flower Longhorn beetle. This ant was either very clumsy or was attacking the beetle. It kept bumping into the beetle and climbing up its leg.
