Click on this link to view the video of these super-tiny creatures . . only through my close-up lens can they be seen and observed properly:

Precious things come in small packages like this 1/8″ inch cross between a skipper and the stealth bomber which amazing detail and design may be slightly seen thru my home-made macro-lens. An Oz UV Visual Artist Edd Aragon after seeing this skipper commented,

-

“ awesome wing design of the fly, like a pair of black
rising sun jap flags! only in macro. thx glenn”

Together with the 1/16″ of an inch red fly (?) and extremely tiny buds and shoots in the wild, a morning video-shoot after the 5 AM tennis, made my day. A tiny skipper, stealth bomber & “Bob Dylan’s “Modern Times”, how can we go wrong?

Aten-minute video excerpt from a one-hour documentation of a drama of sacrifice exemplified by two ants making their frail bodies as bridges for the rest of the other ants going about their chores for the day. Handheld, I couldn’t keep up videographing with the patience and determination of these two ants who after performing their roles were brought up by a sympathizer ant via the tiny twig, perhaps to rest, to again perform the same task for the next days to come. I caught this particular scene at the start of this video after the first ant performed the sacrificial task for 30 minutes . . a touching experience, I must admit. Do test your patience too by finishing watching this incredible feat of two ants hanging on to a twig despite the wind, their frail bodies and minimal strength. This was first in their maker, so it is also manifested in them, the created . . less found in humans nowadays.

BTW, like ants, we can do something together to prepare us for the future,
