Camponotus ligniperdus (Formicidae)
In Danish this is called a Giant Ant, and it is only found in one location in Denmark, the island of Bornholm, which is where I found this one on the family summer vacation last year. It is the largest ant we have here at around 15mm. When I picked up this one the queen was ready to take off and she was absolutely ginormous and more than 20mm in length. In fact she was the one that first caught our attention, and at first I thought it was a wasp of some kind, until the other workers and soldiers emerged from under the stump where they had their nest. I wouldn't take the queen, as she was clearly on her way out in the world to secure the species and unfortunatly I didn't get a good shot of her as she was quite lively, but she was a very impressive beast.
Anyway, this time I have ventured into flash land. This is something I haven't much experience in, but I can see that some of my macro heroes are using flash, and I guess there is no way around it anymore, so here goes!

How strange all his friends were ants.
The ants use this irrigation pipe as a natural expressway through the garden.

Ants are renowned for their remarkable strength, as certain worker ants possess the ability to lift objects that are up to 50 times heavier than their own body weight. This impressive feat is possible because ants, along with other insects, have exoskeletons—external skeletons—that bear the majority of their body＇s weight. Consequently, their muscles are not burdened with supporting their own weight, which allows them to exert greater force when lifting objects.

I follow a great Twitter account called MCU News & Tweets (which you can check out here: twitter.com/MCU_Tweets), and they posted a great photo that I wanted to share with you guys today!
I just think it's fun to see the evolution of my favorite character's suit. Which version is your favorite? I gotta say, mine's gotta be the Ant-Man and the Wasp one. It's like a best of both worlds between the Civil War on and the original! Let me know your favorite in the comments below!
Io penso che tutti dovrebbero studiare le formiche. Esse hanno una sorprendente filosofia in quattro punti. Non arrenderti mai, guarda avanti, sii positivo e fai tutto quello che puoi.

It has begun... We finally get the date of when Ant-Man and the Wasp begins production!
According to Omega Underground:
"The sequel’s cast is looking like it will include Evangeline Lilly, Paul Rudd, Michael Pena, and Michael Douglas. Peyton Reed will return to direct with cinematography by Michael Mann collaborator Dante Spinotti (Heat, Public Enemies, Manhunter, L.A. Confidential). Its script was written Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari from a story by Paul Rudd and Adam McKay its said to be the origin of Hope’s transformation into heroine The Wasp."
Don't worry guys, from now until this movie hits fucking VHS, I will keep you all up to date on any piece of news surrounding this movie, I promise!
I thought i'd have a bash in photoshop, thought i may have forgotten how to do stuff, it's been so long! Was fun, am sure i'll get hooked on it again! :-)
Can't wait for them to start tunneling!
saw these ants climbing a wall with their meal. ants are so fascinating to watch and learn from. organization is built into them
I don't have much time for shots at the moment but nipped outside at my mums today and found a few things around the pond . (Cropped Version)
Too low for a tripod I used my knee to steady it!
This ant, apparently alone, was moving quickly. I have no idea where it was going, but it seemed intent of reaching some destination. I could easily project onto it determination, serious intent, even heroism. Was it on a quest to save a beautiful ant from a horrible fate? Heading off to defend the community? Or perhaps escaping responsibilities, abandoning a family and looking for adventure.

I spent some time (maybe too much) watching this ant tend to this flower. It seemed like he was going around prying it open. Maybe helping it bloom? He didn't seem to like the camera but kept working nonetheless.
