[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ok, I admit this is not a very good quality shot. Focus is a little out I'd say.

But nevertheless, I still want to share with you all how hardworking these black ants are. A dead fly was found by them among the leaves and within a few minutes the workers begin to work together to bring their dinner home.

I like this picture and I hope you like it too.

Cheers!

I love this shot Yahwen. The focus is still better than most of my shots, and its a very interesting image. Those ants look pretty big. Well done, and thanks for sharing this with us.

Gran captura yahwen... sin dudas.
La imagen de la mosca ferozmente atacada y sometida por las hormigas es impresionante.
Muy buena agudeza con excelente colorido y presentacion.
Coincido que el foco no es óptimo pero la imagen amerita su publicacion.

Great capture yahwen... without doubts.
The image of the fly ferociously attacked and submissive by the ants is impressive.
Very good colorful with excellent sharpness and presentation.
I agree that the focus is not optimal but the deserve image its publication.

Yahwen ho, Very nice vertical framing that works very well with your ants trailing up like this. I like this one for its interest & the flies blue-green metallic sheen. Well done!

A good capture.
Very good composition and some nice detail.
A great action shot and very well presented.
Well done.

I think this is the clearest ant shot yet posted to TN Yahwen, shows clearly natural habits of them collecting food, and the Greenbottle fly gives a good scence of size to the image well done.

Impressive shot which holds my attention yahwen. Well spotted.

Ants are scary. I would kill a huge cockroach in my room in India, and before I left the bathroom, the tiny ants would have it up the wall, out the window. when I was sunburned, they came and took my peeling skin. I was afraid they would take me....lol! This is a wonderful nature shot. It makes you think about how organized they are, how strong they can be, wonder if they speak to each other, they must.
