I love the ant in the center. It looks like he has gray whiskers!

wonderful macro, look at those little hairs on its rear end and the colors of the leaf, gorgeous!

I usually don't enjoy finding ants around, but this macro is superb.

Jan said...

Your shot of the ants is fabulous. Did you use a tripod, at all?

Really, really good!

Ha, I took a picture of the same thing yesterday but went with something else today. :)
Those ants are very busy on peony buds.

Great shot and very topical for me right now as we're fighting back an invasion of the little devils in our house. :)

Super macro, EG. I wonder if my Peonys are blooming yet. I tried to look but it is 11PM--I'll wait 'til morning.
You must have an excellent camera---well it is you too and I remember what camera you have. I think I am just rambling and should go to bed. 'Night. MB

Thank goodness! I've seen peonies not bloom because of lack of ants. I like the little hairs on the ant's bottoms, too. lol
