Cowboys...

[doenoe]

...only a bit smaller. Its real good fun to see the ants take care of the little insects like they are cows
Here one of the ants is eating some honeydew

This ant was about to relocate one of his "cows". First he has to get it from its place though

Thanks for looking

Offcourse im at it again, im addicted to macro these days. Also ordered some belows and give stacking a shot. Should be awesome (well not the first tries, those are gonna be horrible) And thanks for the reply

Like Chris mentioned, these are aphids. People never want them in the garden, since they can destroy the pretty flowers. But when i can get shots like these im willing to sarcrifise my mothers garden and put a colony of these in her garden Thanks for the comment.

Wonderful stuff, Daan. It's a whooooole other world we're not particularly aware of. Thanks for showing it to us.

Dang Daan. Excellent as always.

I was at the park the other day, and came across this army of ants. Like...thousands of them had taken up residence in a sidewalk crack. There were so many, I thought it was a pile of dirt spilled. When I got closer...it was ants. Then the rain came. Im hoping they are there to night, and might try to snap a shot of them.

Ants are just so freakin' interesting. Great shots!

You are welcome. I never used to take long looks at bugs, but now that i started the macro thing, i do. It all just gets more interesting when you look at it longer. Those ants are really hard workers and they do it all for the queen.

Awesome!

Thanks

Oh, you really should. Probably can get some nice shots of them working. The rain wont bother them i think. They just rebuilt whatever was flushed away and then move on. Great little buggers, those ants. Thanks for the comment
