Bubble in the Sea

These are some Loquat fruits that my Dad was washing off (for their cancer-fighting properties). When I looked at them, I saw this going on: an ant, trapped in an air bubble, with another ant outside the bubble, already drowned. The ant in the bubble was moving around, trying to escape. I ran to get my camera; used my small digicam, as it focuses this close while the lenses I have for my DSLR won't, and captured this scene.

Ants are people too! Actually, they aren't. They type here is red imported fire ant, which we have far too many of in Central Florida.

On my site.
