Happy Easter! - _TNY_0496

At first glance, this black garden ant (Lasius niger), might be an odd choice for an "Easter" shot - but the flower it is standing on is a daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) - a species whose Swedish name is "påsklilja" which translates into "Easter lily" so it is decidedly associated with Easter for Swedes.

 

The flower known as Easter lily in English (Lilium longiflorum) has a name meaning "trumpet lily" here. Go figure.
