Image of Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (Mayr 1862)
Description:
The ant was trying to pull the maggot from a patch of fungus. The maggot put up an epic fight despite being bitten over and over again. I watched for about 20 minutes. They were still at it when I left because it was getting dark. Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC, USA
