This ant was not giving way to the this Japanes beetle, this episode happened on my fig tree which is infested with both ants and japanese beetles, actually sucks for the fruit but for the macro guy (me)....lol, it's a paradise of activity.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    No...this is so funny. We have all been PM'ing each other laughing about what it would be like to post a thread about a shot...pretending that we can see it when there isnt a photo at all. Sorry mate ..it was a dirty trick.

    Thanks for all the kind words
    When I originally posted this shot I had the links turned off on the picture, sorry about that.

    I watched this stand off for about 2 minutes thinking to myself why doesn't the beetle just eat this guy or run him overrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif Balsy ant,

    Thanks again

    Ever see "Starship Trooper's"?
    Kinda looks like the huge Plasma Bug with a Soldier Bug next to it for size comparison.
