Hungry ants clamour to get their hands on a piece of chocolate brownie that had been left on a pile of leaves.
Known in Indonesia as the Rang-Rang, the insect lives in colonies where each
has their own role as either worker, drone or queen.

Wonderful photo!
But “ants clamour”? I can’t hear them, but these ants definitely “clamber”.
That is true…
What an amazing image. Their legs are so long and their bodies seem almost transparent! 😀
Yes, that’s what I thought, too. I would love to have a macros lens for my camera like that.
Never cared for ants — but as pictured here they are beautiful, almost elegant creatures.
Back in the day I had a macro lens and it was great fun to use. However, my favorite, default lens was the 210mm zoom.
Yeah. I’m not a bug person at all. Not afraid of them, nor do they freak me out. Just not a fan of them. But I love photos of insects like this. The detail we cannot see with our naked eyes. Magnificent!
ain’t nature grand? continue…
Yes it is.
