"My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn." ~ Louis Adamic
No suprise here, some ants found the honey on the tree and a feast ensued. I kept it large so you could see the detail better. Still though, it is a cropped photo and reduced 50% from the original size. I also rotated it 90˚� counter clock-wise. BTW, these ants are between 2-3 millimeteres in length. :o) My thanks to cfulton for inspiring me with his impressive "High on Sugar" photograph. -----

Wow Kort, that is awesome.
Awesome! They are celebrating Spring :)
Oh la la absolutely fantastic... I don't love this animals but this macro... I adore!;-)
Excellent macro.
Still lazy. I agree with Janiss !
Very cool shot. Those ants look meaner than the ones I have around here. I love the one guy standing right in it. lol. Great work.
WOW
great shot
Great macro
What a party for them, LOL. Splendid details ;O)
Most excellent shot!!! Those ants are really having a feast!!!
Great find and capture. I wonder if the one in the middle of it all got unstuck lol.
Superb!
Sticky is as sticky does! This is an excellent macro. Nothing like a busy little group of ants to keep one fascinated with nature.
Fantastic image, cool. I love honey and would have been licking the tree too:):):):)hehe
Magnifique!
Stunning macro! They do look like they are enjoying the party.
Impressive Macro , love it ! Ana
that's alot of ants but were are the uncles ;-P i'm fasting today and feasting tomorrow-(Purim). i would've liked to see more of the creatures in focus.
WOW Such an awesome macro shot! Excellent composure, excellent eye!!
Fantastic shot!!! Excellent work!
ants doing their usual clean up job.... great capture
Super shot. These little guys sure know what is good to eat.
Ya think they decided to keep the gold to themselves? Wonder how much made it back to the queen and her kids... lol
They look so normal, but we don`t register them because they are so small..... What a great snapshot! Suddenly they awake to life, and we can see, what they are really do. Absolutely fascinating to see them standing in a row and licking some goods... Thanks for sharing.
Superb macro and the hint of colour really makes the honey a star ! Lucky they weren't jumping ants, otherwise you would have needed a zoom lens ! ~Cheers~
they eating it all up . I like the post work here . turns out fine
Highly socialized ants, which I'm in constant battle with in my condominium, following their instincts, sopping up the sweet stuff. Great POV, textures and lighting mood effect in this snap, old buddy! Incidentally, I like your profound Adamic quote, which I'll use at my next family gathering.
This is really cool. A delicassy.
