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.
