my entry for the 🐜 7 Days Macro-Photography Contest 3 🐜 Day 2
Ants and aphids are like cows and cowboys, thats a common knowledge. Some people think macro photography means getting as much closer to an insect and capture their eyes' details. They dont think about other stuff. Thats why today I'm bringing you my insect stuff. If that counts as macro, then here I am, with my big butterfly net, pioneer Canon 350d camera and Tamron 60-mm macro lens (not so big at all).
A few details on this capture: its a common knowledge, that ants and aphids are like cows and cowboys: they are always together. But this aphids combat unit acted alone on their own, no ants were noticed at all. Pretty strange!
I noticed them during the migration, they descended the chamomile stalk... it was hard to get a decent shot, as a weak breeze significantly swept the thin stalk. At that time I havent read Terry Pratchett stories yet and did not know how important always to borrow a rope. So, I did the same thing as always: just clicked, clicked, and clicked. I worked for the trashbin, but one shot of 20 turned ok - here he is.
Macro let you see these aphids are like primates, like a humans ok, you can see The Boss, and thats enough.

It's a bit confusing for me right now because I know Macro means large and Micro means Small.
You classifying ants under Macro photography makes it very confusing for me.
