rescue operation

on lifting a slab that the ants had destabilised by carrying millions of grains of sand, one at a time, out from under the slab - an amazing feat! - they scurried round removing eggs from view. by the time i had scurried in to get my camera, there was this one lone egg still visible.

sorry about poor definition - hand-held macro & tiny subject!

am off to the west coast again tomorrow - yippee!!! - photo walk with Richard on saturday - so no blips or comments till 2 august.
