I shot the video with Nokia N8 phone using Vivitar-Ser VII macro lens in front of the camera - and using tripod also. I edited video this time with Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 15. This time I shot video of ants out in the nature. At first scene the ant appear to be helpful removing a stick from the mouth of larva of Carabus Beetle. It was nice to see how ants and aphids both benefits their mutual partnership: Ants provide aphids protection against predators like Ladybird and in returnd aphids let ants have their precious sweet honeydew. Black ants (Lucius Niger) are good to shoot a video at in a sense that they let come near and does not bite nor squirt acid. Horse ants (Formica rufa?) seem to be clearly more aggressive and seem to see also better than black ants. As I came close to them with my camera, they often took a aggressive stance and were prepared to shoot me with the acid. Altogether, The ants are so fascinating and interesting creatures to study and look their behaviour through a macro lens.
