Ants competing for territory, Massachusetts. Ants are frequently quite territorial. In this image, two ants are part of a much larger battle between two colonies of a single species. The colonies are competing over territorial boundaries early in the spring, when the ants are coming out of nests after their winter of reduced activity.
