Ants in action

Ants in action.

In these days when we are forced to stay indoors to avoid the Coronavirus I photographed these ants in my garden on a Nasturtium leaf (Tropaelum majus) intent on sacking the eggs of the Cabbage butterfly (Pieris brassica) and drinking from a few drops of water. Nikon d850, Sigma macro 105mm. F / 18, 1 / 200sec, ISO 250. Thanks for your comments

Nature!

Excellent macro. It transmits quite a lot of behavioral information that reminds the image of Bence Máté entitled 'Marvel of Ants' that won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year grand title in 2010, ciao Sandor

Just an amazing picture. Good to see you're still carrying on despite the quarantine. Stay safe and keep shooting.

Grazie mille Evgeni

Either the lens is excellent or you are the master of macro photography (most likely both)! It's amazing how sharp and crisp is the whole image without any distortion or shortcoming of any kind! Complimenti, maestro Crisponi! PDE
