The Bee and the Ant etc

A few more images from the garden during this week including this amazing head and torso of a Red Ant attached to an Andrena bee antenna. The bee had attempted to remove the ant but the jaws remained locked onto the antenna though part of the abdomen and most of the legs have been rubbed off by the bee. We also have a Hoverfly bee mimic Merodon equisetum and an early Cranefly.
