小小蚂蚁力大如牛，搬种子堪比杂技！
A group of ants have turned the Indonesian jungle into their very gym.
Astonishing close-up photographs show the insects carrying seeds， which weigh many times their own body weight， back to the nest.
Suspended from a thin branch， they bite down on the Mimosa tree seeds as they scurry back home.
At several points， the ants are seen creating elaborate three-tier formations that would put expert circus performers to shame.
When the ants are confronted by a massive white spider -relatively speaking - they appear to gang up for protection against the arachnid.
This feat of strength and teamwork cannot be seen by the naked eye. Eko Adiyanto， the Indonesian photographer who captured the ants on camera， needs to get up close and personal using what is known as"macro photography" techniques.
