black ant and his aphids
these where taken in my backyard , i never remove aphids from my plants they are part of nature and e great macro object, sometimes with ants milking them , sometimes with ladybugs or larva eating them .
for this serie i used a sony A6000 camera and Panagor auto macro converter + rokkor 50mm 1.7 lens , manual focus , no tripod i did use flash light with diffuser .
great shots
thank you
Awesome macros, Mick! Great job, as always! 👍🏻

Wow nice. up-voted and followed! Love the eye on ants world perspective!

These are awesome photos! Great detail you've captured there.
thank you very much
Goddamn aphids.
As a gardener, I heartily endorse the efforts of the ladybird to eliminate the little buggers!
i can understand that there are many biological enemies , how ever sometimes man kind think they are smart and import species from other continent , not always a good plan as we have seen with the asian ladybug

That is awesome! I love how the ants "farm" the aphids! Amazing details!
thank you Denise , it's fun to observe them , as soon as an enemy approaches all the ants go to it to chase it away
