User's notes

A continuous line of these very small ants was sighted as they travelled up and down the height of a palm. They appeared to be carrying eggs in both directions. There were at least two larger ants standing guard as seen in the images. The event was brief with the ants appearing and then disappearing within 10 minutes. The final image provides an indication of their size.
