Also found this guy down Creek Road today. I was looking for macro subjects. This guy caught my attention. He was a larger ant, maybe 3/8" long.
On top of a mountain in northern Thailand, in a beautiful Buddhist Temple, I decided the ants were the most interesting thing I could photograph.
This is the ant I made for art school. This is made out of plexiglass and bondo. The front face was supposed to be the screen of a television set. Kind of like a giant TV robot ant monster thing. But I found out that this assignment was to be primer only.
Double-spined Dolly ants, Dolichoderus doriae, Emery 1887; on Eucalyptus regrowth after bushfire.
Thanks to the Australian Museum for the ID.
Note to self, pack the tripod and the 105 mm macro next time.
Dolichoderus colonies occur in areas with heavy forests and will inhabit both wet and dry sclerophyll in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
Nests are commonly under soil or around the edges of stones and branches that appear on ground level, or in some cases will nest in rotten wood at bases of trees, and during warm weather workers and their brood will form balls on ground surfaces, and will forage in trails on the ground or on trees.

Aphids, also called Plant Lice, are small sap sucking insects that secrete a sweet liquid called honeydew when they feed. The sugars in this honeydew are a high-energy food source, which many Ant species collect. In return, Ants form a mutualistic association with Aphids and protect them from predators like Ladybirds, Spiders and Wasps.

Marvel just put up their official Ant-Man website so check it out here: marvel.com/antman#
Details on the website tell us that "Dr. Henry Pym (Michael Douglas) originally discovered and isolated a rare group of subatomic particles, which have become known as the 'Pym Particles', which could increase or decrease the size and mass of objects or living beings." And goes on to say "The Pym Particles work by stunting matter into the Kosmos Dimension when shrinking a subject or accruing extra matter from that dimension when enlarging."
Man, this is some pretty interesting stuff!
This large black ant couldn't resist sampling the small dab of fruit preserves I placed on the cinder block wall. Imaged on September 14, 2009, on the cinder block wall next to the garage in rural upstate Columbia County, New York, USA. Camera: Canon 350D and Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 90 f2.5 model 52B macro lens and Pre-AI Nikon mount and Nikon PK-3 extension tube and PRO 18mm Nikon f-mount extension tube and Un-AI'd TC-200 2X teleconverter and second unaltered TC-200 2X teleconverter plus Fotodiox Nikon mount to Canon mount adapter ring, hand held with the front of the lens resting on the wall, manually focused, manual mode, 1/200 sec, ISO 400, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash.

Wish I had used a tripod but for most 1;1 macro of insects they move too much to use one. This action was fixed to this spot although the ants darted around a lot. I used F10 for better DOF but it still blurs subjects just out of the point of focus.
I have never seen this happen before although I know it does. Ants farm Aphids like we farm cattle. They protect the aphids from predators like Ladybirds (Ladybugs US). I doubt if Ants can harm a Ladybird, but they harrass them so much they fly away.
BTW ... no group invites please :o)
Two ants crawling across the floor as the sun sets.
Sometimes you just get on the ground and dirty to get the good shots you want.

Ant - FAMILY FORMICIDAE
I really enjoy chasing after ants, as they are forever moving about which makes it all the more challenging to capture them. They have interesting jaws and mouth-parts when viewed large, I can see some similarities with wasp tongues.
Location: Australia, NE Victoria close to a river bank.

Didn't realize there were ants on the young buds of this jade succulent until I got close.

This ant fell out of a Acacia sieberiana tree onto my swimming towel. So I collected it and took some photos of it.
I gave it some syrup (because I don't have any honey in the house) to feed on so that it would sit still for the photos.
The rim you see in the back is the rim of the plastic perti dish it was sitting on. It helps stop the ants from running away if you put them on a petri dish.
If you can help with identifying the genus or species I would greatly appreciate it.
I found this ant in Pretoria.
The ants are busy moving around on this tree stump in my back yard.
They are doing everything EXCEPT picking up the ant bait and taking it to their Queen.
The NASA gel ant farm I gave my nephew Ryan for Christmas. They eat the gel too. Pretty darn cool.
Apparently, dead ants give off a certain smell, and ants have been known to bury alive an ant who happened to be covered in the smell. Thems the breaks, I guess.
