I think ants reaches on tree mostly in monsoon or rainy season in search of food.

I've had discussions on here about the ants and aphids. Two folks observed the ants moving, but not killing the aphids off the plant. Ladybugs may or may not have been part of that discussion. I do not have a science background, so I learn more than I offer in most cases.

Thank you! :) I really enjoy this one, myself. There were actually a few carpenters crawling on the flower, do they eat the plant's nectar?

That Carpenter ant put big life in this spotting..!!

This picture is neat. I love the background is blurred and the foreground is crisp.
