Ant herding aphids macro in ultraviolet and infrared

A few photos I did before I started video on the ants. I like how the aphids are blue but the ants are black.

This comparison is amazing. You are right, they look blue/violet somehow. I like the way you zoomed in. Keep on brother.

@gandalfthewhite

Yeah two different worlds between wavelengths. I think they are blue because what they eat from the plants make them glow, just like my plants do.

portrait of a very good picture

@bambangsuraji

@mominsdt

Stimulating the aphids to "milk" them of honeydew.

You do vids in ultraviolet too? Where? 😁

@artgirl

Yes, my GH3 is a Mirrorless DSLR camera. So I can do video along with photos.

I posted the Ultraviolet video to my Solominer account:
