Well, last week I noticed another heart shaped ant hill,
but instead of flower petals there were lots of fast moving ants, many with wings.
Further down the road, a huge column of flying ants was swirling in the early morning sunlight.
Apparently, this was the day for the nuptial flight of the ants.
Back home again, I saw a couple of winged ants on a stucco wall.

Later at the computer, contemplating if the ant's head looked heart shaped, it dawned on me that this ant was wearing a heart on his wings.

Wow!!! I wouldn't have caught that last one. I had to look a bit to see the heart...but it's there:) Love your theme today...although not so crazy about flying termites(the dry rot kind) and ants this time of year around the house:) In nature though...that's a whole other story:)
One year they were in my living room and outside in swirling columns flying up to the sky.
I called Truly Nolen and like you said it only happens once a year. Interesting
But I am so happy I was not invited this year no invitation.
Great photos.
cheers, parsnip
I can't believe you found a heart shaped ant hill!!! And it's so perfect too.
But I had to gasp when I saw the heart on the ant's wings. I am in awe of both nature's design and your eye for seeing it!
wow, i would have not noticed the heart shape in the wings if you did not mention, so many hearts you found, and the ants bring them to us.
what great captures! amazing heart :)
I am amazed that you can get such great photos of the ants. They always seem to be scurrying along so quickly that I never bother to take any photos of them.
I didn't realize that ants were such lovers. :) Such a good eye you have for hearts.
Wow..you found the most interesting hearts in nature, Diane. Fantastic photos, especially the last one.
Hi Diane, Love that last shot of the heart shaped wings..... That is NEAT..... Great post, Diane.

Hearts everywhere! I would have totally missed the heart on the ant's wings in your last image, but it is definitely there.
What a Hearty Day!
Nice.

You have a good eye for spotting hearts! Interesting that the ants all seem to be having their mating flight at the same time.
