Ant on Peony
Apr 24, 2015 14:17:49 #
While planting a tree for Arbor Day with half the hole dug, I dropped my shovel and headed for the house. My wife asked "Where you going?", as if she didn't know. Grabbed my 6D, sigma 105, 430exII/softbox to shoot the second fellow here I had found about a foot down. A couple quick shots, not my best, and he was returned to the hole with the tree, then I found the ant on our peony.

Looks like you've awakened it from it's ancient slumber!
Nice captures.

If I "accidentally" stepped on it I would not lose any sleep.
I'd sleep better if you stepped on it.

Really like that Ant shot.
I haven't a clue as to the other.
Looks a bit muddy.
My Wife rolls her eyes when I go back for the camera so I just take it with me to begin with.

That cicada shot is a true rarity! They disappear from the known world for one to 17 years, depending on the species, and are almost never seen until they climb up and shed their skin to mate and procreate. A once in a life shot. The ant is fine, too!
