Mohamed Babu set up these photographs after his wife showed him some ants had turned white after drinking spilt milk.
He gave the creatures the brightly coloured sugar drops and watched as their transparent stomachs matched the food they were eating.
Scientist Dr Babu mixed the sugar drops with edible colours red, green, blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the insects.
By placing them on a paraffin base the drops kept their shape when touched by the ants.
Some of the ants even wandered from one colour to another, creating new combinations in their bodies.

Quirky wildlife
I featured a video from this series on the old blog. Yesterday I found this lovely episode and would like to share it with you. The animals and the music never fail to make me feel good.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

It's Christmas

We love pets here on What Time, so here are some pet related seasonal pictures:
I don't want to be left out!
We all like to indulge during the holiday season...
Peter and I wish you a very lovely Christmas!
I like this version of an old classic, so I had to add it to the post:
I need to add an extra little gift. I just saw it on Facebook and I think it's lovely!
