  Known for their remarkable feats of strength, this tiny ant has proven it's no weakling by effortlessly picking up a caterpillar using its jaws.

  蚂蚁以超凡的力量而闻名,图中这只小小的蚂蚁用它的下颌不费吹灰之力地举起了整只毛毛虫,完美地证明了-它,并非弱者。

  The determined weaver ant bumped into the green insect while walking across a branch and decided to pick it up to move it out of the way.

  这只坚定的编织蚁在树枝上爬行时碰到了一只绿色昆虫,于是它决定把这大家伙从路中间挪开举起来。

  Remarkably, it then bit the caterpillar and lifted it above its head in a 'clean and jerk' weightlifting action.

  值得注意的是,它先是咬了毛毛虫一口,然后用了一个举重运动员“挺举”的动作直接将毛毛虫举过头顶。

  The powerful ant, which is just one centimetre long, did not appear to struggle handling the five-centimetre long insect.

  别看这只充满力量的蚂蚁只有1公分长,但在对付这只5公分长的毛毛虫时却没有显现出任何挣扎的迹象。

  Teenager Frenki Jung captured the special moment in his back garden in Sambas, Indonesia.

  印度尼西亚少年法兰基(Frenki Jung)在自己位于三发的家中后花园抓拍到了这一特殊时刻。

  The 17-year-old said: 'The red ant bit the caterpillar before lifting it up above its head while walking on a branch. These ants are known for their strength and it seemed like it was doing it to test itself.'

  这位17岁的少年说:这只红蚂蚁在树上爬行时碰到了毛毛虫,它先是叮咬毛毛虫,然后又把它举过头顶。这些蚂蚁以大力士出名,但它似乎也想借此证明自己。

  Frenki, a student, added: 'I was amazed by what I saw - it was fascinating.'

  “我被这一幕惊呆了,这太神奇了!”作为学生的法兰基补充到。

  Weaver ants are primarily found throughout Asia and Australia, where colonies can contain up to half a million workers.

  编织蚁主要分布于亚洲和澳大利亚,在那里,它们的巢穴可以容纳近五十万工蚁。

  Due to the size of their colonies, they consume a large amount of food and continuously kill other small insects.

  由于它们数量庞大,需要消耗大量的食物,所以它们不断猎杀其他小型昆虫。

  Because they often prey on agricultural pests, they are also used as effective bio-controlagents throughout Asia and Australia.

  由于它们经常捕食农业害虫,在亚洲和澳大利亚,它们也常被用做有效的生防控制剂。

  As the caterpillar begins curling up to protect itself, the weaver ant keeps a firm grip while a fellow worker ant climbs onto it.

  当毛毛虫试图蜷缩起来以保护自己时,编织蚁紧紧地咬住不放,就在此时它的同伴工蚁爬到了毛毛虫的身上。

  Due to the size of weaver ant colonies, the workers consume a large amount of food and are continuously killing other small insects such as caterpillars.

  由于编织蚁数量庞大,这些工蚁需要大量的食物补给,因而不断地捕杀其他小型昆虫,毛毛虫就是其一。
