Ants are crazy. Maybe it sounds strange, but we’ve noticed that ants here in Australia are much more fascinating than the ones we see at home generally. I won’t wax poetic about these tiny creatures, but I will say that the amazing thing about what’s happening here is that the two leaves the ants are bridging are from separate trees. Justin spotted them when they had a huge swarming bridge formed, but just as I got there to check it out a gust of wind came and ripped them apart. We stood watching these guys climb on top of each other by the dozen until they just barely connected again. I grabbed this shot just as a small breeze came along and stretched this little guy to his limit.
This photo looks like a Nat Geo shot for an insect special. Very cool. It looks like ants are not just super strong for their size, but pretty intelligent too. Keep having fun in Australia! 🙂 Kristin M. Waugh

It was pretty incredible to watch! I think it’s hard to NOT have fun in Australia 🙂
Totally amazing!
It really was! I’d never seen anything like it, we watched them for ages.
Btw, I think those ants would be delicious inside of a Bolivian lolipop while driving around in a 4X4 and listening to cheesy 90’s music.
HA! I had totally forgotten about that…did we take a photo of one of those?
Wow! That is amazing. I would have watched them for ages too!
