A very close up look at the busy lives of the southern wood ant, also known as the red wood ant or horse ant (Formica rufa). Here you see non-reproducing female worker ants carrying items (mostly much larger than the ants themselves) to build and repair their huge nest, which can house up to half a million ants. 4K locked tripod shot. (No. 3 of a set 6 different clips taken on the same day) (Ref. Insect 95a)
