Top notch, Jeff. These remind me of something...I just can't quite put my finger on it

I was playing with the macro and extension tubes and didn't even see the ants until I zoomed in on the flowers. Then I said to myself, I've seen that somewhere just recently. Hmmmm.

Very nice shot. The green part looks to me like a face hiding in the flower with the dark spots as the eyes. Great color.

Thank you! I thought the same thing too, regarding the face in the flower. The anti is a sugar ant, about 1mm long, to give an idea of the size.
