Does the hummingbird know he has a visitor?

That's a once in a life time photo. Actually, there probably isn't another one like it anywhere. Nice catch.

I hope Mr Ant has his seat belt firmly fastened about his waist - -
He's about to go on a turbulent ride !!

Actually I just saw one last week.
The big question is does the ant know that hummingbirds are "nectar fueled insect eating machines" as one hummingbird site worded it.

I have taken a hummingbird with an ant, also. I think it's probably fairly common as ants love the sweet mixture in feeders. Nice image.
