Wow Istvan, this is brilliant. The color, the ant drinking, the small world can be so beautiful but so hard to capture, yet you did. Posted 13 years ago

This picture is double good! And the scene is beautifull with the water drop on the pink flower and the ant itself is a perfect sharp macro shot. Posted 13 years ago

The Myrmica rubra

''Myrmica rubra'', also known as the European fire ant or common red ant, is a species of ant of the genus ''Myrmica'', found all over Europe and in some parts of North America and Asia. They are mainly red in colour, with slightly darker pigmentation on the head. The ants live under stones, fallen trees, and in soil. They are aggressive ants, often attacking rather than running away, and are equipped with a stinger, though lack the ability to spray formic acid like the genus ''Formica''.
