A big bunch of flowers is a great way to brighten up a friend's day - and if this brilliant picture is any indication, this ant definitely agrees.

In a stunning show of supreme strength, the tiny insect holds a single, beautiful blossoming flower aloft - even though the plant is three times its size.

Balancing on a branch, it appears to hand the yellow-topped flower to its pal. Two more equally amazing images show the ants moving around other flowers.

Incredibly, one of the ants is seen walking up a stem with a flower in its mouth.

And in another shot, the pair appear next to each other, holding the flowers vertically.

The red ants are just 8mm long and it is estimated that the flowers weigh at least three times as much as the diminutive insects.

Red ants build nests in trees using leaves stitched together with silk produced by their larvae.

Colonies can consist of up to 500,000 workers and they usually eat smaller insects.
