lucky you..to catch such a sight...! great photos!
ant lions are cool! To bad about that ant though. You seem to have forgotten that I love ants too... Thats what I get for not visiting the forums often any more.
Abe J., did you push that ant?
yes, a dozen of ants were selected among millions to play in my photo like food. :evil:
