I find the Eumenes wasps are very good subjects. At least when nectaring, probably not when hunting. The little hoverfly really gives the image a dynamic feel, a split-second in time.

Talking of wasps, this one was photographed a few days ago, nectaring on a sedum flower.

They seem to find a lot of food in my yard.

Ants. This species folds over and stitches together leaves to make a little pod-house. They've emerged in angry numbers after I tapped on their Eco-friendly tent. Guess they don't welcome visitors. Some kind of curious-interesting white mite off to the left.

A mango tree in Thailand had ants doing the same. Many nests but maybe the same colony.
Your ants are pretty with the green abdomens.
