A bullant protects the parasitic "Wattle Tick Scale" on a small tree. The waste product from the scale is a sugary like substance. The ants eat it and in return protect the scale from predators. A single shoot with off camera lighting.

Hi Michael, the ambient light was only about 1/25s so when I used one off camera speedlight with a small Westcott macro softbox syncing at 1/250s, this meant the I was able to make the background blackout as there was 3 stop difference. All the best David
Excellent photo, and interesting info.
I love how the hair on the ant glows...wonderful image
