Field Notes

Notes:

On a bit of blue plastic I have adjusted the light and hue as much as possible to compensate. The ant was a constant irritant to the moth who ignored it. The ant is the pest species Big-headed Ant

Thanks Mark. The ant was funny. It spent the entire photo segment trying to drag the moth off the plastic lid it was on. The moth didn't even acknowledge it was there.
