This ant seems thinking to plunge or to walk. It is a wide space ahead of him, and it might be scared too of the abyss! And who will not!
The hirsute larvae looks talking intimately or discussing of their fate under that leaf. Will they be seen while eating or will they be able to reach adulthood in that condition! They seem to be happy and contented though! What do you think?
Here are the two larvae viewed under the leaf. They seem intimately there waiting for their fate, each caring for the other in the midst of chaos around them. I looked around and there is only the two of them among the leaves. Their being together closely here might really have a critter-reason! I wonder what! Can you see their meaning?

Very clear focus. The ones of the larvae are rather cute, even if destructive too.
ReplyDeletehaha, it seems like my photos of destructive insects are showing to be cute, as many has also previously described. I have grasshoppers in an early post and they are described as cute too! Thanks
DeleteThanks Linda, you are very kind.
ReplyDeleteThe ant looks like it will bite. The caterpillars - are they born together? They certainly look like they are made for each other, friends forever.
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic photos Andrea, nice macros!
ReplyDeleteamazing! Nedver would have considered to call critters cute - but your photos show that they are ...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. You catch some really cool closeups a lot.

I think our size cuts us off from many animals like this - I think we would all do well to take a closer look. Nice pictures.

Great shots of the littler creatures.
ReplyDeleteNice shots! Interesting little creatures.
ReplyDeleteYou are having fun with your new lens. Nice closeups.
ReplyDeleteNot so much of a fan of insects
ReplyDeleteEspecially ants & caterpillars.
But you really got a nice story to tell her.
Hi Andrea, Great macros of the little critters... Macro photos show us more of the details when it comes to tiny things like those critters than we can ever see with our naked eyes. Great photos!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
hello Betsy, you are back! So how is everything? No back pains or ankle mishaps, haha! Welcome back.
DeleteContinuing your Anthropomorphism trend I suggest all those bugs were freaking out when they saw you with your camera. They were scared you were going to squish them between your fingers. NIce shots though.
ReplyDeletehahaha, yes Melanie! But if only their 3rd eye is functioning well to read my mind, i am scared to death too that they might suddenly jump on me! Do you know that i very much love to have a butterfly farm, but i confess i cannot at all touch those pupa, as when wiggle i scream!
DeleteLove finding and photographing the little critters
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I love these pictures! I don't have many good shots of them. Caterpillars are so fuzzy!
ReplyDelete...so fuzzy and so hairy! haha. I wish to have the quality of photos just like yours, Tatyana-ish!
DeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the first one.
Hope you're having a great weekend.

Thanks CameraCruise, I am chasing butterflies and very small insects here at home!
DeleteAwesome macros! Hopping by from Camera Critters.
ReplyDeleteHave an enjoyable weekend!
Am glad you already removed the backlinks. thanks for coming.
DeleteGreat captures!
ReplyDeletegreat shots of both ant and larva. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some amazing macros! Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour macro photography is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWole mrówkę od gąsienic, ale zdjęcia makro wszystkie świetne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteprefer an ant on track, but all the great macro shots. Yours.
Fantastic macro shot of these critters! Hopefully, caterpillars will soon be beautiful butterflies..
ReplyDeleteThese shots which you and some others manage to capture of little creatures are just mind blowing. I am still looking for a meaning to my existence Andrea, so no chance of me making a guess at what larvae are up to.
ReplyDeleteAlistair, i laughed aloud with your comment! Your comment is the best punchline to this post. I hope the rest reads this too! LOL, hahaha!
DeleteWonderful photos. I took love to photography the "little critters".
