One garden anthill
This is the story of one garden anthill that I follow regularly to see what happens only this time I feed it
It all started while I was photographing this ant queen maybe a queen or just a fat ant
that ant is extremely fast and rarely stops for two seconds to catch it in the frame
and he went to the mountains
so I was attacked by one flying ant and the other landing on the floor
so on one plant I saw a caterpillar moving like a branch
and fell to the floor and gathered in a circle
it is a caterpillar ( Lat . Scopula ornata ) - European Lepidoptera
I like how he holds up with those little legs
and it holds that body in that position
and the head is also weird I don't know if it's the legs or some tentacles, the mouth or something else and yet it's the head
there the whole of it is like some branch camouflaged
it would be weird if the mosquitoes didn't start stabbing me as if they were competing in darts they could hit me better and faster, sting and suck more blood in a short time
really boring very boring those mosquitoes and that tiger mosquito
this one doesn't fly anymore and the ants won't obviously it's not on his menu
they stabbed me so much that I itched the wound and took off the oak
and I threw the oak to the ants, let them use it, it will be more useful to them
slowly one approaches and the other approaches who comes to the oak
goes he wears that piece like nothing
I earned that oak a week ago when I got off my bike while the first long-awaited rain fell and then the road slipped like ice
nothing terrible little scratched knee and this little sore of an inch below the elbow
close is close to this ant
the hole is slowly monitored
here's a cohesive team of goats on what to do with it underground
here he goes into a hole with my oak to feed or skin what to do with it and I slowly greet you on HIVE with these little ants
They left with my share and I greet you with my share .
THE END
When you wander through your garden and you come across an anthill, a small mound of soil molded into tiny pellets, what often comes to a gardener’s mind first is to destroy it. You stomp and kick until the small hill disappears and the tiny ants scurry off, not knowing that you’re actually doing a disservice to your garden. Most times gardeners find these anthills as a nuisance in the garden, but actually they are helpful. Tunneling ants turn over as much soil as earthworms do, aerating the soil and redistributing nutrients. Ants are also part of the world recycling crew: acting as scavengers, collecting dead insects and turning them into fertilizer for your soil.
Rather than being seen as pests, ants can be understood as our partners in gardening. One of the most important roles that ants play in our garden is as seed dispersers. Ants are very helpful.
Yes so ants are the best gardeners and understand horticulture and great cleaners what to eat and that they are beautiful to watch ;))
You are there @denisdenis
Nice lens! The tiny world of reality is far away for me, as more light is needed to see tiny things clearly. You could talk to ants!!lol
Ah, if there were more and better equipment, there would be no photos like this, and for now I can't do better, but we still need to make a little effort to capture some shots. ;))
Hi ;))
Great pics!
I doubt that it was an ant queen. They usually are deep inside the anthill for protection. They never show up on the surface, only after a disaster has happened or a freshly inseminated one is founding a new colony.
It's normal for me too that the queen is in the country and it's realistic, but I rarely see such a thick black ant, so I rarely see it. ;))
I love ants! (I recently started an ant farm, too!) Great shots of the ants. Haha that is not just a fat ant, you are indeed right, it is a queen. Probably a brand new freshly mated queen that landed and began looking for a place to found her new colony. I can't take good pictures of my ants, even in macro mode.
I also find ants interesting and interesting and glad that I guessed she is a queen because she is different from others and sounds good your farm ants must be even more interesting how they do and make it :))
So many pictures of insects biting. You suffer for your blog :))
Don't let those mosquitoes bite you!!
I watch out I watch out for those mosquito bites at some point they are so aggressive stings that it's hard to be stung and take pictures ;))
