~ Between major bird or mammal sightings a game drive passes through landscape with beauty in various forms. These images show acacia and hibiscus blowers, beetles, an ant, a female Chlorocypha sp. damselfly, and clusters of abandoned weaver nests. In contrast to Mars, the Moon or an asteroid, terrestrial life shaped through natural selection takes on any form, any pattern, any color which facilitates growth and reproduction. The blue-black ant on the pale yellow hibiscus was photographed with a super-telephoto lens, which captured the ant's right eye.
