I've been documenting this massive 1m diameter stump for a few weeks now. First, I fell in love with the acrobat ants that were starting a new colony in it, then it was the Black Garden ants... but as I zoomed in closer, I realized there's a third colony a Tetramorium colony that lives beneath the stump... Never thought just one object in my garden can tell so many stories.
