aRGyBee,DoinaRussu... Thank you for the wonderful comments... @ aRGyBee, No, I haven't come across any ant like u have described..
very nice!
Fabulous tail and lovely photograph.
Have you ever seen any 'all gold ants' in Kerala? or all copper ones?
I saw them at Thekaddy and Periyar 8 years ago and stupidly didn't take any pictures. Now people don't believe me.
It is very lovable and skilled picture,
Thanks, Sachin ...The skink was not in this position when I had started to photograph ..Unlike, other skinks which scurry away at the sight of anyone this fellow just kept moving slowly and I was lucky when he moved neared the plant .. Got a nice composition...
Well captured, pleasant way of click
Thanks,Gordon..
Lovely photograph. Love the colors and, of course, the skink!
