A overhead cable TV wire; from our office terrace to a pole on the other side of the street.
The wire serves as a bridge for these weaver ants. I've seen these ants in the mango tree close to our building. Now I got to know our friends go across the street to gather food.
This is a busy street with heavy traffic. Our friends have found a safe way across it. Really smart.
Ants are great explorers!

Great photos. In the Second one the focus should have been on the ants rather than the water lorry below.
ReplyDeleteI agree ants should have been in focus. I shot this picture from my mobile-phone camera ...limited features :(
ReplyDelete:) You made me to remember my school days, when I used to sit & watch the line of ants (small ones), ants very disciplined one as I feel, they will be moving in a line ( no hurry to break the queue , as often we human beings do :D , may be we think rules are made to break), if you ever disturb them for few secs they will stop as if they are thinking , where we are heading & next moment will move on in same direction.. :)..I used to do it , thinking what they might think will they communicate to each other ??
ReplyDeletegood old days..
also bees are disciplined but ants are the best to watch. as a kid (even now) i would wet a finger and draw a line across their path and watch their reactions. they would stop and start discussing "what to do." slowly one or two would go around the wet patch and find a detour. the best part of an ant-line is every passing ant would greet every opposite passing ant ...all are friends :)
