The Forsythia pollinator !! =)
I took this photo the other day wondering around the backyard looking for something interesting to shoot…. While taking photos of my Forsythia bush I noticed lots of ants inside the flowers.. This was the best photo of the bunch as they where busy as bees! Once uploading from my camera I noticed this ant had pollen on it back.

Edit info: auto smart fix, then added saturation, cropped and framed


info on Pollination from wikipedia
The process of pollination requires pollinators as agents that carry or move the pollen grains from the anther to the receptive part of the carpel. The various flower traits that attract different pollinators are known as pollination syndromes. Methods of pollination, with common pollinators or plants, are:
.
o Entomophily: pollination by insects
 Bees, wasps and occasionally ants (Hymenoptera)
 Beetles (Coleoptera)
 Moths and Butterflies (Lepidoptera)
 Flies (Diptera)

This is nice Tricia...really nice. The yellow is bold and beautiful, and this 'huge' ant stands out so nice, and is very detailed. Nice shooting Tricia!
