The five ants joined together in unison as they held up their own pieces of fruit. BEKSAI, INDONESIA: THESE super ants have been captured hauling fruit THREE TIMES their weight back to their nests. In one image, a tiny weaver ant could be seen as it balanced a wild cherry on top of its head and used its arms and legs to keep balance whilst in between a torn leaf. Another image captured the moment five two-centimetre ants joined together in unison whilst on a branch, as they held up their own pieces of wild cherry ready to take back to their nests. The spectacular images were shot by Dzul Dzulfikri (48) from Beksai, Indonesia, who captured the balancing ants in his back garden from just one-foot away. Dzul captured these images using a Panasonic Lumix G9 camera with a 100-300mm lens. Weaver ants can reach up to one-inch at full adult size and are known for their large colonies which can reach up to 500,000 members. These ants can carry up to three-times their own body weight and are native to Australia and South East Asia. @dzulfikri72
