Mr. Worker Ant
I was out shooting flowers but it was too windy so I decided to shoot some ants. The hardest part of this shot was keeping the ant in the frame. The it was so windy that the ants kept getting blown away. Tough day to be an ant. For this shot I laid on my stomach and hand held the camera. As I mentioned it was windy and I was hand holding the camera so I used a shutter speed of 1/250 second. With all the movement going on I couldn’t use manual focus which I usually prefer for manual and landscapes. I instead had to use continues focus. Luckily the D810’s 3D-tracking focus is fantastic. I knew with my 105m Macro lens the depth of field is very shallow especially when this close to the subject. I wanted the whole ant to be in focus so chose to use f/10 which ended up being about right. This meant I could use my favorite ISO of 64.
I caught these two little ants privately eating this piece of bread, so i thought to intrude and take the pic :)

Ant Damsel Bug [Himacerus mirmicoides]
HEMIPTERA > HETEROPTERA (true bugs) > Nabidae (Damsel Bugs)
____________________________________________________
This particular species of Damsel Bug is so named because the early instar larvae are strikingly ant-like in appearance. This specimen is around 7-8mm long and is a freshly emerged overwintering adult.
They were making an application on the Duplex across the street.. They need to do that more than once, tho.. I have mine done 4 times a year because there are carpenter ants in the area and they love your house to call home... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!
Ants (Dolichoderus indrapurensis) tending to extrafoliar nectaries on Leea sp. Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
This caterpillar (Homodes sp.) lives among weaver ants, and actually mimics their antennae and legs -- at both ends. I'm not sure how, but they are able to live on the same plant as the ants without being attacked. Thanks to Nicky Bay for the find.
In the garden taking pictures of snap dragons and saw this little guy hanging out. He skittered off right after I snapped the shot so got a bit lucky catching him on the tiny flower.
Lone Ant dragged this Woodlouse on its own about 4 feet, which is probably like me dragging a dead cow half a mile. Not the best macro, but thought it was worth posting.
This spider really looked like an ant. It even held up its front legs to look like antennae.

in some parts of the world ants are considered a prized exotic meal. in the photo are weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina). they construct a nest using stalks and leaves in a small tree .These kind of red ants are edible in traditional Thai, Laos and philippine cuisine.The larvae and young ants are carefully, they pack a nasty bite, harvested from their nest and cooked into a hearty meal. bon appetit
The ants dominate the lemon tree and they love the blossoms. If anything else tries to get a look-in, the go on the offensive.

Large ants (16mm long, Platythyrea conradti, Formicidae; ID credit: BrianLeeFisher) from the miombo forests of Katanga (DR Congo, January 2012, ethanol preserved).
Studio work. Specimens were staged, the soil is from the miombo. Had plenty of trouble to recreate that hard light from the open savannah.
Focus stack based on 90 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Canon 5D mkii, EF 100mm macro 1:2.8L IS USM, ISO-100, f/6.3, 1/25s, -0.3step, combined natural & ledlight.
This rather large carpenter bee was busy doing its business, carrying a rather large and battered carpenter ant that had clamped down on its right middle leg.
Macro of an Ant on a flower. I gave up trying to ID the ant. It seemed fun initially, but wasn't as much fun as I'd thought.
