Wow! Is that the new camera in action? Did you see the ant collect it or did it go into the nest under its own steam? Great photos!

Yes the new camera ( thanks to DPRees for help choosing). Old SLR Canon captured similar event last season.
Certainly had built up some steam cooped up though appeared to rest for minutes while munching escape hatch.
