El barrio está en plena actividad. Será a una hora laboral. Por estas latitudes, las hormigas utilizan a los pulgones en mis rosales para ordeñarles un líquido que debe de ser nutritiivo. Magnífica imagen con una luz espléndida.

@Francisco Romero: Eso es exactamente lo que hacen estas hormigas; ellas acarician a los pulgones y eso hace que segreguen un líquido dulce que les encanta y llevan a sus nidos para las crias ... una perfecta interaccion: simbiosis !!! Gracias por tu comentario Francisco y que tengas un buen fin de semana ...

Carol from Leamington ON, Canada

Wow, that is impressive.... lots of busy ants scurrying about. I've watched several nature programs on ants, they are amazing. There seems to be another kind of insect at the top of the stalk. A fantastic macro Baldwin, nice color and detail too!

superbe ce gros plan !

Jypyä Pop from Turku, Finland

Once again, I can say only wow. This is amazing document. Ants "take care of their cattle." This might look like children for educational purposes.

Very nice composition and fantastic colors, I love. It's beautiful.

Marilla from Turku, Finland

...and they are all singing: "We are family, all my sisters, brothers and me..." - or something like that. Nice shot, very crowded. :)

8 Sep 2012 6:42am

Mooie from Vancouver, Canada

Fantastic shot! Again, the detail is super duper... though my instinct is to grab a hose and get those guys OFF!

Doug from Long Beach, United States

I find myself itching as those the ants are crawling on me. That is one superbly effective shot.

Por lo visto donde yo vivo las hormigas se mueven mas. No hay manera de tomarles una foto de este calibre.
