Large ants scurried underfoot in the Bushveld. Being part of the landscape, they were largely ignored.
They were largely ignored until I spotted this one from a distance carrying something large and white. Was that an egg? I bent down for a closer look.
The ‘egg’ had a stalk attached.
It was no egg, but what could it be? I looked around for similar objects and saw none until the following day when I happened upon a cluster of them lying on the ground.
The mystery was solved. These were fruits from the Karee trees that lined the dam.
It’s the little things that make the bush so fascinating😊
