Ants and Aphids

[RyanB]

The only things I could find that weren't affected by the wind the other day.

1. One ant


2. Two ants


3. Three ants


4. Milking the aphid


5. Ant acting as a midwife to an aphid clone

Very good captures, Ryan!
May I suggest to revisit the WB…
ain't it a tad on the yellow side?

Thanks Kodiak, I think the nettle leaves were acting as bounce cards tinting the shots. Should be better now.

Should be better now.

…just fine, what a pleasure!

A lovely set and getting a shot of a Ant is not too easy as they are normally always moving.
I like the last one, nice to see a Aphid clone.

Cheers Graham, I don't generally get much luck with ants as they are always on the go as you say. I think the trick is find a group and wait for a good shot as opposed to following a single ant around. I got 2 firsts in these with the milking and the clone so pretty chuffed..

Nice set Ryan

Thanks David.
