    A very cool macro

    I'm having one of those "I wish I'd thought of that" moments...

    Do you have translucent ants where you live? It is kind of hard to "have thought" of something if you do not even know they exist (which I for sure didn't).

    Very cool, I wonder if the eat out of two different primary color food stacks they will change colors.
    Edit; read the article again and they do change colors.

    Most ants will become translucent to some degree or another as their abdomen expands. Also use a little vanilla ice cream and you can get zebra ants with the white against dark.
