Ants

The ants absolutely love the zucchini flowers. They crawl all around inside them. These guys aren't budging even though the flower is closing up.

This is one of the two girl flowers I hand pollinated with a q-tip this morning. I got buzzed by a bee while I was doing it, but I figure it couldn't hurt just in case he didn't have it covered.

I've got another girl flower that looks like it will open tomorrow.
