Tiny insect fights off bigger bee with wrestling move
The tiny insect looks as though it could easily be overpowered by its much bigger foe. But showing off its awesome strength, the ant clutches the bee's wing in its powerful jaw — and looks as though it wants to slam its enemy on to a branch. Snapper Syuwandie Lie captured the scrap on a rambutan tree on Bangka Island, Indonesia, The Sun newspaper reported Wednesday. He said: "When I found the bee, it was already in agony and being held above the ant's head. "I have no idea where the ant got the bee from. It looks like the ant is about to throw the bee." The insects can lift more than 20 times their own body weight, the report said. And this little specimen is so strong he should really be named the Hulk Hog-ant, the newspaper said. |
