Eastern black carpenter ant and caterpillar

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Description:

Carpetner ant carrying off a green caterpillar. Based on the number of prolegs and the white stripes, I'm guessing the caterpillar is some species of the genus Hypena (e.g., http://bugguide.net/node/view/442388/bgi...).
