I didn't mean to! I Lifted up a rock to see if it was a fossil and disturbed this ants nest. ooops! I carefully returned the rock-roof.
( After photographing them of course!)

I've never seen anything like this! What are those things? They look like pine nuts to me at first glance, but clearly, they are not. Fascinating capture.
Okay, by now, you know I'm the type of person that would say, "ick" to the ant eggs. Still, I see the beauty in the textures, colors and curiosity of the photographer! Great shot! (Insects just get me "itchy.")
