Can anyone help me with a mystery? In our garden, at the front, we have a raised bed with a few shrubs. The rest is covered in stone chippings. Today, my wife noticed hundreds of dead red ants there. We have no idea what killed them – it wasn’t any chemical that we have used. Then she spotted that a small number of black ants were removing the bodies. I just don’t know what is going on. If there had been a pitched battle between a red and a black colony, you’d think that there would be dead black ants but we couldn’t see any. It has us perplexed.

And if anyone can ID the species, I'd like to know.
