Ant on Trumpet Vine Blossom

View large if you can. It had just rained and there was a water drop on the blossom near the ant. Taken last weekend. No photo ops today, too busy after work getting ready for my granddaughter's graduation party. Graduation (and the party) is tomorrow and lots to do before then.
Thank you for viewing and your comments, they are appreciated.

@rossevs LOL, me either.

Another great close-up. Ants are hard to catch, they're so fast!

[Linda]

@ladyjane Thanks! He wasn't in a hurry, but he did keep trying to get away by going on the opposite side from me. Something there was very attractive (sweet) to him.

[Diana]

That's one huge ant! He has been busy! Super detail and clarity!

I like ants too... to an extent. Not the stinky sugar ones in my kitchen. This is a great shot, the color is fabulous.

[Kd Wallis]

Wow he blends right in doesn't he!!! That is fantastic! Good find!

[Linda]

@ladydi53 He is really small, I just got up close and personal, lol.

Cool shot! What lens and set up did you use? I like taking Macro shots but mine aren't as good as your are!

[Linda]

@duffman13 Thanks! It has been a while since I took the shot, I think I had the 18-55 IS lens that came with my Canon and got just as close as I could with it. It's got a lot of megapixels, so you can get pretty good shots with it. I do not have a true macro lens yet. It is on my list.
