On Ellis Beach near Cairns these little fellows were not afraid of giants. As soon as I started to come nearer with my camera they were ready to battle me til death. Thank god nobody was hurt!

Chris, this is a tribute both to your courage and to your photographic skills. It's a really delightful image.

They are GREEN TREE ANTS. Not poisonous but it might hurt when they put their acid in a wound.

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
Who knew something so pesky could be so fun to look at up close

Ants are tough, able to lift many times their own body weight, their bite is loaded with toxins, some worse than others, and so they're some of the most fearless critters on the plant. Some evolutionary scientists have speculated that if humans hadn't become the predominant life form on earth, it would likely have been the ants.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
i love the green colour they are and the translucency (is that a word and did i spell it right?) are they poisonous?
