Tenhave Woods

Saturday was the Royal Oak Nature Society’s 2008 Open House at Tenhave Woods and despite the cool and sometimes rainy conditions I managed to crawl on my belly like a reptile to find this ant traversing a serrated leaf edge.

Buy a print of this image.

See an ant in a sea of gold.

    This would make a gorgeous textile, printed on linen, for that off-beat summer dress! What a great graphic Rick!

    I never thought of my work on clothing, but it sounds like a great idea. Bug Fashion.

    I’ve seen some interesting fabric prints that are very photographic. Why not bugs? Birds are more common– here is one that is not photographic:

    I’ve got some ideas for design made from some of the images. We’ll see.

    The geek in me can’t help but spit out the scientific name of your ant: Prenolepis imparis.

    That’s a very unique image. I love how the leaf fades out of focus on either side of the ant.

    Thanks very much for the ID, Alex, your expertise is always welcomed, and the information goes into the metadata for that image.

    It’s always nice to get a good image under rough conditions.
