THE F-ANT-ASTIC ARTISTS

Exibiting their superhuman strength these ants look ready to create an art attack by lifting pencils several thousand times their own weight. Vietnamese photographer Thanh Ha Bui captured this incredible image in his parents' back garden and, after spotting a line of super strong weaver ants marching across a branch, decided to test their legendary weightlifting skills. First experimenting with pieces of food and leaves, he eventually ended up with this incredible shot - with each ant displaying a simply unfathomable level of strength. Mr Bui, 31, a construction worker and freelance photographer, explained how he has been fascinated with the weaver ant - renowned as the bodybuilder of the insect kingdom - ever since observing them on a trip to Brazil.
