This is a small crop at 100%, over worked to provide detail, in hopes that 
someone recognizes these ants.  They are of the one node variety, about the 
size of a carpenter ant, but the characteristics don't match up.  As Sonny 
Carter suggested, they may be after aphids.  They are found on blooms, buds, 
and new growth of the Rose of Sharon.
