a bugs adventure on a Bug

this morning as i got into the car, i noticed on my windscreen some activity. it was a red ant that had locked in its jaw, a bee, caught by one leg.

and it seemed that this ant was not going to let go, no matter what! i have no idea how this ant firstly even caught the bee, but it found a way to firmly plant its feet onthe windscreen, and it kept it’s jaw firmly closed on the poor bee’s leg.

consider the struggle…

i thought that at least the journey on the expressway would dislodge them. But it didn’t.

then suddenly, about three quarters of the way down the e’way, i noticed that the insects had disappeared. in my minds eye i saw them fly off my windscreen, but that little red ant still had firmly in its jaw, the bee’s leg.

when i parked, and got myself out of the car, lo and behold, i found the ant and the bee, on the roof my car – still struggling.

now that’s perseverance.
