Three Winter Ants (Prenolepis imparis) on Flower of Chaparral Clematis (C. lasiantha)
I left one camera mounted on the tripod, focused on the (boring) drama with the crab spider, and ventured further along Trail 14 (South, CW around Searsville Lake). Lovely flowers, at different stages in opening. Three ants grace the less open flower. 8:56 am.
