Angry Weaver Ants
Once the flash was fired, these guys right stopped and look my way. And I thought that "Wow... I've blinded them..." So I moved my hand around just to check. Left right up down they followed... Creeped me out a little.

Great shot Sparda! That is funny how they could see you. Makes you wonder what was going through their minds.
