Caught on extreme closeup, this big black ant (carpenter?) looks as ominous as it is. If you have never had one clinging to your skin, believe me, you have no idea what those jaws can do. I have a vivid childhood memory of pulling one stubborn specimen which had its jaws sunk into soft skin of an aged aunt. The ant came off, but the jaws stayed glued into the skin. Must have hurt both, aunt and ant 🙂

I missed all of it 😦 except for some compensation shots by this ardent rider.

Today, Gudia left for her hometown.
She taught me new lessons in patience and love. And took a slice of my heart with her.
