Forest Ants

[Edwin Bont]

The good thing about an antsnest is that there are plenty of ants and that the nest wil stay there for a while :D
So no more searching for insects to shoot, I just jump on my bike and pay them a visit whenever I want.
Gear: 30D MP-E 65 420EZ+softbox

I found two ants that were taking a caterpillar home.
That must have been a dayjob with al the needles laying around, they had 10 more meters to go.
The caterpillar was still alive.
