I'm not entirely convinced as the information about them seems to vary substantially.

It certainly does look similar. Although, I'm not completely convinced yet that these were yellow meadow ants because there were a lot of other ones that were much larger than these small guys and also had wings. I assumed they were males and females, but I suppose they could be the queens that the article mentioned... But there were a lot of them that makes it seem that they wouldn't be queen ants. I'll post one of the shots with the larger winged creatures soon. @Andrew: thanks a ton for the link! It certainly does look similar.

According to what I've read, you just captured a seldom-seen species. Very cool.

The colors are astonishing. This definitely puts you on the "elite photod00d" list that I keep safely in the back of my brain. Best photo ever. The colors are astonishing.

I'm going to try convince him to buy the image to use in a flyer. Creepy and beautiful. Great composition also.
