Adult Winner.

A GIANT TROPHY FOR A SMALL ANT by Bence Mate.

“This photograph shows two leaf-cutter ants where one of them is carrying back a curly pink leaf particle to their nest. Leaf-cutter ants are one of the strongest species on Earth; they cut and collect leaves which they use as a food source. I took a whole series of photographs of leaf-cutter ants at work, and I chose to enter this photo in the Size Matters category not only because ants are generally small creatures, but because of the obvious difference in size between the small ant and its disproportionate trophy – giving the title an underlying meaning as well.”
