Leafcutter ants can carry more than 20 times their body weight and cut and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivars.
The theme for the week is kitchen. I used an old-fashioned crinkle cutter for the subject and had three extension tubes on my 100mm macro lens to get up close and fill the frame. For the lighting, I used a desk lamp with an orange gel on the right and my ice light with a blue gel on the left to achieve this effect. Once again, I was able to use a family heirloom for my photo subject. HMM!
Macro Mondays theme Cutter
I didn't really enjoy this weeks theme but decided to rise to the challenge. This is a julienne cutter to cut veggies into strips especially for sushi making. The blade is just under 2 inches in width so it's well within the requirements. HMM!
I can't for the life of me remember what the flower is but they have flowered for most of the summer and as long as I dead head them, they keep coming back. I love the dark red/orange colour and obviously so does the bee! ;0)
A very close up view of a kitchen tool for cutting crinkle cut chips. I arranged A4 gold and silver coloured cards to reflect window light on to the cutter, the glass hob and the miniature pot that I used as a prop. The total cutting edge is 3 inches across, this image is about 2 inches across.
Leaf cutter bees (Megachile)
The females of these bees cut small pieces out of leaves or flowers and use them to line their nests. The individual species of this genus can hardly be distinguished from one another with the naked eye. Most species are not very picky when visiting flowers, only a few are highly specialized.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Pendant Swiss Army knife. I have another the same that I've had for over 20 years and use almost every day. Built to last.
One of those egg slicer things. Completely redundant in my house as I don't eat eggs. And yet it lurks in the cupboard ...

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
This is a replacement cutter for a grinding wheel dresser. It was backlit while sitting atop of a chainsaw scabbard.
Grinding dressers are used to return a grinding wheel to its original round shape (to true it up), to expose fresh grains for renewed cutting action (including cleaning away clogged areas), or to make a different profile (cross-sectional shape) on the wheel's edge.

Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
A landmark day today as I probably hit 1,000,000 views of all my best 423 photos taken over 10 years since joining and posting on Flickr. OK, so maybe there are many who have accomplished this milestone in a much shorter time but I thank you all anyway for taking the time to visit and view my work!
