If you are allergic to ants, I don’t suggest getting too close to this bunch. This photo was taken in Honduras.

Thanks Xandi!
They would bite me, bugs always do!
Me too. And I’m allergic to most. I’ve been to the hospital on a few occasions because of bites.
Great shot! 😀 We have a few of this “ant-homes” in the woods & horsie is so not smart..One time he stepped on it, second time he has chosen to pee there..And I was like: “Shaman, move your ass, they are climbing on your legs already!” He was like: “Huh, you re talking to me? Dum-di-dum-di-dum…” 😉
Oh poor Shaman! I hope they don’t bite him. When I was a kid I fell on an ant home and that was the time when we figured out I was allergic. Take care of Shaman…sounds like he needs help 🙂
Oh no! So you should stay away from them too 😉 Yes, he needs help with that, but he doesnt listen to me 😉 Have a great evening 🙂
Sounds like your horse and my dog have a lot in common—they won’t listen and get into silly situations. But they are adorable and we love them.
Good picture. This made me think of an exhibit in a gallery I saw when on holiday in France. It was basically a film of ants – who looked like they were constructing a necklace around a statue – the necklace was entirely made of pieces of food – in actual fact it was a short film of a nest of ants deconstructing the necklace and removing all the pieces of food to their ant hill which was being played in reverse but it was quite clever not to mention captivating. They really are industrious and organised little critters! That being said I don’t like being bitten by them.
Thanks for the picture.

That sounds like a really interesting film. Yes they are busy workers. This group was cutting up pieces from this plant and then carrying them away. I couldn’t figure out how far they were going since I didn’t want to stray too much from the path. You never know what you will find in a rainforest. And I was impressed by how much they worked together.
good photo–but it DID kind of give me the shivers, although i am not phobic about bugs…
Some bugs scare me. I was more fascinated by these ants though.
I am allergic too. But your photograph is worthy. Great Shot. Thank you dear TBM, with my love, nia
I’m sorry to hear that Nia. I know how much it can itch, swell, and hurt when you get bitten. Be careful and I’m glad you liked the photo.
Good photo!…but it makes me feel like they are crawling all over me.
I had that feeling a lot when I was in Honduras. It is funny how your mind can play tricks on you. At least I hope it was my mind and not the real thing.
That’s a lively bunch you caught there!
Yes I wouldn’t want to interrupt with their work out of fear.
Such a good close up as the ants are working hard on that leaf:)
Thanks T.F! They spent days demolishing that plant.
Makes me itchy looking at it! LOL.
🙂 I know how you feel.
I get itchy by looking at the photo 😉 but it’s -yet again- a great one! Way to make ants look pretty and artistic!
Thanks! I would love to take the credit, but the ants did all the work 🙂
Magnificent work!
I’d love to put video of this bunch to music…
🙂 That would be entertaining!
Leafcutters? My husband is surprisingly and kind of randomly really excited about leafcutters. We found them in unbelievable numbers in a little tiny national park in Costa Rica and he got stuck taking video of them until I drug him away. Funny. And cool.
I think I would get along with your husband. I often get the “are you done taking photos” look. They are fascinating creatures though. So tiny and yet so strong and focused. I wish I had their drive! I haven’t been to Costa Rica yet, but when I go, I’ll be on the lookout for leafcutters.
Cool shot 😉 I am not a big fan of ants 😀
🙂 I like them in their natural habitat.
My 10 year old daughter has a fire ant bite in her right eye. She shuddered when she saw your photo.
Oh no! Tell your daughter I hope she feels better soon. That sounds awful!
