One of the best videos I've shot so far I think.  I thought I would video the Lasius Niger feasting on the strawberry patch in the gardern, they sure do love their sugary foods. I also put this website link in the description below. |

Didn't see them eating strawberries?? Also have strawberries in my garden and the Nigers here are doing the same as in your video. I wonder if the plant is not producing something to keep the Nigers present. Perhaps to ward off pests or parasites that would ruin a crop. Still, that said and done it is a great video and well shot..  |

They are most likely hunting for insect life on the plants, such as aphids or little caterpillars and the like. |

Luckily the Aphids havnt found the strawberries yet, but there are certenally a lot of spiders around that area. |

I never new I had this lense untill a few minuets ago when I tested it, I thought it was 1 lense but turned out that it was a macro and a 0.67x wide lense together.  This is the result of just the macro lense and the results speak for themselfs. If I hadnt shaken the ipad so much I think it would have turned out better, but if you pause in certain areas I think its ok and ill definatly be using this lense in future videos without as much shaking of corse. |

Nice video.
Gave you a thumbs up too.
If your camera has a screw fitting on the bottom you can buy a camera stand which will stop the shaking.
Will be getting one myself very soon.

If you have a Poundland store not too far away, they sell a very small lightweight aluminium tripod for digital cameras and small camcorders. Only cost £1 so a real bargain. |
