📷Busy Ants | 忙碌的蚂蚁 (by @ace108)

Introduction | 简介

One day, I was at the Japanese Garden in Jurong, Singapore, taking a walk and taking pictures and I came to a path which has ledge at the side going across a drain. I notice there were quite a number of ants moving on the ledge. There are not the ordinary small ants. One of them was dragging a leave with the carcass of a caterpillar.
有一天,我在裕廊(新加坡)的日本花园,散步和拍照,我来到了一条路,在一条走过水沟的两旁,有个栏杆。 我看到在栏杆上有相当多的蚂蚁在走动。不是那种小蚂蚁。 其中一个还拖着一个叶子。叶子上还有条毛毛虫的尸体。
This is where I stopped and watched them get busy.
这是我停下来,看着它们正在忙碌。

Watching them get busy | 看它们怎么忙

The ant which was dragging the leave seems to be going somewhere. Then it was joined by few “friends”. They tried to help and then change directions a few times like could decide where they should be going.
拖着叶子的蚂蚁似乎要去某个地方。 然后几个“朋友”加入。 他们试图帮助,然后改变方向好几次,好像不能决定他们要去哪里。

They kept going to and fro a few times before I decided to let them continue to be busy in their own ways and continue my walk.
看它们在那里徘徊几次后,我也决定继续散步让它们继续忙它们的。

Strange, ants normally seem to work well together to accomplish the goals. Maybe they were from two different colonies?

I am quite puzzled too. I gave them a few minutes and decided they were undecided.
Thanks for your comment.

Great photos and why the ants don't work together? Isn't that strange?

Thank and thanks for your comment.
I found it strange they are not coordinated too. Come to think of it, maybe they are not use to having the leave as a medium.

It is just me or the ants looked huge??

No small but not huge kind of big. Length 1 cm +/- a bit.
