It’s easy to see which ants have been sipping which coloured sugar water drops thanks to their transparent abdomens. Father of three Mohamed Babu set up these photographs after his wife, Shameem, showed him some ants that had turned white after sipping on some spilt milk. Dr Babu mixed sugar water with edible colours red, green, blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the insects. He discovered the ants preferred lighter colours such as yellow and green.

I don’t know why, but I always seem to spot spiders or spider webs. I first spotted the leaf based shelter in the grass, then took a closer look and spotted all the tiny spiders around it. It also has dry grass and a small clump of wool in it from the sheep next door. Animals and insects never cease to amaze me with the structures they build.
