Macro Photographs of Red Harvester Ants

Texas is full of Red Harvester Ants.  In fact my guess would be that other than the invasive Fire Ants, Red Harvester Ants are the next most common species.  These insect love the heat.  Huge nest f Red Harvester Ants are often found in gravel fields and along road ways.

I took these macro photographs of Red Harvester Ants in Double Oak Texas.  The photographs were captured on a Canon 5D Mark II.  The nest has been here at least 2 seasons.  Last year the nest was in the same location.  This spring the nest re-appeared.  There were trails in the grass where these ants travelled so much.

I also took a few macro videos of Red Harvester Ants.  These videos were captured in HD on the same camera using a tripod.
