These are some Loquat [2] fruits that my Dad was washing off (for their cancer-fighting properties [3]). When I looked at them, I saw this going on: an ant, trapped in an air bubble, with another ant outside the bubble, already drowned. The ant in the bubble was moving around, trying to escape. I ran to get my camera; used my small digicam, as it focuses this close while the lenses I have for my DSLR won’t, and captured this scene.
Ants are people too! Actually, they aren’t. They type here is red imported fire ant [4], which we have far too many of in Central Florida.
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [5].

Source image [7]. I removed some specks of dirt (can’t have dirt on my fruit), plus added contrast to liven things up. I burned in the corners slightly, and dodged the blue areas so they can better play off the yellow and orange bits.
