18 Jan 2012 FILM DIARY

Today I filmed some large white fungi in a garden. As often when I film fungi, I noticed some ant activity, though not a lone ant crawling over and under the cap, but the occupants of a nest scurrying among the blades of grass. The trick for me was to locate an area of grass used by a sufficient number of ants and large enough to show the paths they took without the individual ants being too small for me to adequately reveal their anatomy.
