A macro photo of an ant sitting on a trumpet flower.
Trumpet flowers are always full of busy ants.
These flowers will have aphids because ants descend on aphids and then milk them dry.
It's a busy mess on the plant with all these ants.
Macro photography is what I also like to do, with the ants it is quite a job to get 1 in focus because they are so fast.
I put the camera on the right settings and on a tripod because otherwise you can't get these rascals in focus. This applies to all macro photography's that you don't get something sharp in your image quickly if you want to shoot from the hand.
A nice picture for in a classroom where there are animals or in the office for a busy 'truus the ant'.
