Superheroes aren’t always people donning splendid capes, and wearing undies on the outside of their tights. We think this mighty little ant qualifies too. Teguh Santosa took these photos outside his home in Indonesia as the stubborn insect refused to move out of the way of a marble that was rolling towards it.

“The brilliant little critter refused to be fazed by the giant obstacle which formed a shape like a bubble due to rain. The tiny ant must have thought he was losing his own marbles when - despite his best attempts - the towering ‘bubble’ just wouldn’t burst… Mr Santosa had placed marbles on a wall to try and divert the marching ants towards him - but this one refused to be moved as a marble set off down a slope.”

He’s like a teeny-tiny Indiana Jones who decided to stop running away from the temple boulder and face it down instead. More power to you, Super Ant!

A new behaviour has been discovered in the fascinating life of ants: when faced with a food item that is too large for it to handle alone, the stinging ant Pachycondyla chinensis quite literally grabs a friend to help out. After assessing that an object such as a cockroach is too big to carry, the ant goes back to the nest and simply picks up another worker in its jaws - who will passively oblige, as seen in this image. The ant then returns to place it in front of the food, and with a bit of teamwork, the food can be shifted to the nest.
