A fire ant appears to be pulling off a one-handed breakdance move on a log. The insect held the pose - known as a hand freeze in breakdancing circles - for 30 seconds. Robertus Agung Sudiatmokos photographed the unusual sight using a macro lens in the village of Cibinong, Indonesia.Photo: Robertus Agung Sudiatmokos / CATERS, via The Telegraph.

Maybe Fire ants do yoga? ;->

ReplyDeleteNot to be a buzzkill but it appears to be the work of an ant hanging by one leg and a creative photographer.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the angle of the waist and abdomen coincide with Anonymous #1 explanation implicating a reversal of gravitational forces...
ReplyDeleteNahh, it's a Tai Chi ant - quite possibly a master of the early Wu style.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it, the more I suspect the photographer inverted the image...
