Another nice set of images there Ken , the first and second especially so. The first, again, appears to be a very young and immature tree hopper and the second, I would assume are the ants riding herd on a number of "mealy bugs."
Great photographs Ken, with unusual creatures!
Only ants looks common for me but I think Gordon would be delighted with details. First one makes a great subject for Jody's macro setup.
The meaning of beauty is in sharing with others.
P.S.
Noticing of my "a" and "the" and other grammar
errors are welcome.
Wonderful shots. The ants are tending immature leafhoppers, not an uncommon situation. The ants I am not sure of the Ident on but the look like a Dolichoderus sp. However the one feature needed to make the Id for sure is not visible. Either way super.
