Commendation for a photo

[davholla]

I got a commendation in Insect week competition for last year. It took about 6 months for me to be notified and strangely the commendation did not say for what entry so I had to look for it.
Although not exactly first prize (or even third) I was still pleased.
Next year it is I think June if others want to enter.

The photo was from Colombia and the first time I have ever seen bees being attacked by ants like this

I wish I had taken my MPE65 with me to get a close up of the attacking - it was very one sided.

Nature can be brutal sometimes. Congrats on the commendation. Interesting shots you don't see every day, well done.

Nice shooting …. I think I see Anttilla the Hun in that pack of ants!

Don't say it, I'm leaving
