Another gem from the archives that I'd missed on the first round through. Camponotus aeneopilosus, the golden-tailed sugar ant, carrying a pupa through the brood nest. Victoria, Australia, 2012.

Macro photograph in side view of a black ant with a curved back, covered in fine appressed hairs that are sparse and silvery at the front but increasingly dense and golden towards the back. The ant holds a giant cream-colored cocoon in its short, sharp reddish mandibles.
