Express ambulance service on the way...

ID: Weaver ant

An interesting sight of an ant, probably dead, being carried away by another hunk all along the path that was being used as a highway by a huge number of ants of a colony. While most others were busy carrying food or directing the ants, there were few instances of carrying of the dead ants along the same path.

Interesting behaviour captured. So ants might be carrying the dead ones back to the colony. You can remove the space below the rod at the bottom as it doesn't add to the composition (divides the image further). Thanks for sharing.
