Ant drinking maple syrup (pic)

[ECooper]

Not too much of a story here...I put a drop of maple syrup out in the garden to try and coax ants to stop for a taste and pose for some photos for my blog. This was my favourite.

Unfortunately I have no idea what species it is...

Only thing bothering me is the blur in the drop, it keeps distracting me and makes me feel cross-eyed hehe.
