I can't believe this beetle is eating my flowers like some 'All-You-Can Eat Buffet'!

But, there he is . . . munch, munch, munch.

Hey Look! Some ants have joined him, goody.

Oh great, where there's ants there are aphids.

Ants not on a mirror. Decided to try a diffusing surface to put some honey on (piece of plastic milk bottle) - gives a much kinder light than a mirror

These ants are about 3mm long and were all over the plants in my garden - seemingly chewing leaves (in which to lay eggs?). The main ant in the shot is looking down in to a cone of other leaves where he had two colleagues. MPE65mm at something like 3.5x life size

You may have to look closely to see the ants moving in parallel to the shadow. Even without the ants' help, it's a nice graphic shot.

Ants seem to be the big survivors of the hot.

Ant doing his thing

This ant is 10 - 12 mm long and was scurrying around on a garden plant beneath a large Poplar Gum. Pseudomyrmecinae?

I'm completely amazed that ants don't seem to think that a huge pile of dead ants is any sort of a bad omen.

These are tiny ants, less than 1/4 inch in length. I didn't even notice the winged queen until I put the images up on my computer.

I found it interesting that there were so many ants on these peony buds. I looked it up and there acually just attracted to the sweet juice from them. Its an old wives tale that peonies acually need ants to bud.

The Great Fen.

I could have stayed for hours watching this incredible process

Ants nesting in dead Frangipani branch - nest 1.

When I trimmed small dead branches from my frangipanis I found two different species of ants nesting in them. This is the larger of the two, with the soldier ~15mm.

The ant colony seemed to be using the leaf to deflect wind to cool down their nest. Lake Wendouree. Ballarat.

Again, this ants were removing the flowers from their nest

Male Dixeia pigea

An elusive butterfly- often keeps to a haphazard flight pattern and hardly touches the ground in your sight.

I trust other individuals that has attempted photographs to share a similar opinion.

The ants seemed to be harvesting a yellow flower - probably Larrea tridentata.

I noticed scores of ants moving along a Honeysuckle vine, much as cars and trucks move along a highway. They were really moving along the vine and just like us seemed in a real hurry to get someplace
