A slightly morbid image, but nevertheless a nice illustration of teamwork – a small group of ants killed, dismembered  and carried off this wasp. This particular adventure lasted about an hour and they showed amazing perseverance and organization in dragging the head (pictured here) up a vertical wall about 1.5 meters high.

Taken in Elba, Italy.
