Snow is finally melting (and fast). Ants are coming also alive and so my macro season begins.
Here is one shot from yesterday. First time I managed to freeze this. Ants defend themselves by spraying acid to its enemies.

Oh my word, how in the heck did you manage to capture that. I didn't know about ant's spraying either. Really great shot Joni. The detail, especially in the ant's head is amazing.
