Macro photo of pollinator ant

This was a tough one to get. This ant is between 2-3mm in length. And - they are always moving. It tok maybe...20 shots to get him in profile.
He is on Joe Pie Weed blooms. Each bloom is about 1/4 the size of a pencil eraser.

BBQ is neither verb or noun. It is an experience.
