Ant...

"Nature, red in tooth and claw..."

 

I really don't have any idea what is going on here... I was shooting the ant, and thought that the black patch at the base of the leaf was mold. The ant had had his head in the scrum, and then backed up on the stem, stopping to stand on his hind legs and wave his forelegs and antennae. The ant has a pair of legs and part of an abdomen coming out of his mouth...

 

The other insects look l,ike very small beetles to me, possibly with a dead bee or other winged insect at the bottom of the pile.

 

I am hoping that some of the naturalists among us, such as David Nice, can provide some thoughts...
