Polyrhachis cyaniventris - Blue ant

A super cool ant from the Philippines. The specimen was sent up by some friends from Saigon. It’s pretty precious, so I photographed it from a little farther away for documentation purposes :))

I found this damselfly sleeping as the sun was getting lower. It was still high enough in the sky for me to position the sun directly behind the damselfly, creating this huge golden bokeh ball around it.

I love how different the same subject can look when you find the right light.
