User's notes

Expect the unexpected. The scavenging ant had found a spider which happened to have a parasite attached to. The ant's jaws have hold of both the spider and the parasite attached to it. The grub-like parasite is visible towards the centre of each image. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
