Longhorn Crazy Ant

Paratrechina longicornis

Description:

Tiny, black sugar ants dragging a millipede carcass vertically up a wall.

Habitat:

Urban

Notes:

Wikipedia says, "These ants are commonly called "crazy ants" because instead of following straight lines, they dash around erratically." And here I thought ants were such rigidly disciplined creatures.
