Thanks for letting me come in and share. Every time I get caught up shooting macro, I am reminded how hard it is and just how good you guys are at it.

Here's a shot from my yard of ants tending to their aphids. For those who might not know, the aphids suck sap from the plant and secrete "honeydew", which the ants use for food. In return, the ants provide protection for the aphids.

Thanks for looking!
