…as judged by an utterly impartial panel of one here at Myrmecos Blog. These are photographs that caught my eye and my imagination over the past year.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

    Thanks, Alex. I’m honored to be included on your list, especially with an ant.

    The photograph was taken during a cold spring rain amid much silent cursing. I’m glad I persevered.

    I may be wrong, but the painted grasshopper is a lubber. The Photo is much better than one I took in Arizona.

    Great photos.
