The ant and the ladybug.
When i was taking this photo of the ladybug, i didnt know there was an ant already in this flower. I saw him through my camera, and he was so surprised to see a ladybug ,after that, he started to follow the ladybug.

How gorgeous! I love the detail, and the sense that the ant is following the ladybug adds a real sense of character. A wonderfully unique shot.

Delightful Capture, with a story to tell, Ellen !!! One has to wonder what’s going on here is it a territorial thing with the ant or is it checking out the menu or something deeper??
Johanna Rutter
wow!!! Thats sooooooo awesome!!!!!!:):) Love the flower as well. so funny sometimes you never know things are there, and it just makes the picture so much better! it still would be cool with the ladybug or ant, but to have them both there is esp awesome right there at the right time!!
