I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
What an fascinating close up. Most people, myself included (hopefully that is always changing) would never even have seen the ants and aphids nor thought them photo-worthy.
I hope the ants are "taking care of them" by eating them. LOL Even the word aphid makes me itchy and I worry about the plant. Great macro though- excellent detail!
Nice spotting. Terrific details. This plant photo class I watched recently would say you are a spider rather than a pollinator because you take the time to look beyond the flowers and see the unusual.
