The mighty NZ ant

nzmacro

Ours ants are small at around 2 - 3mm. The advantage is, they don't bite

So for scale against a pencil tip ...... complete with vignetting :wink



Closing into the head area



And head on, face to face. Cute really :wink



Then sneaking up alongside to catch the eye



And finally a small play in Photoimpact with a few ant shots



All the best macroholics, keep them coming.

Danny.

Our ants are only as big as yours too, they're black but the sugar ants are sort of the colour of the ones you posted, however the black ones do bite, I know cause I make the mistake of touching the lock on the garage door all the time and those little black ones are using it as a pathway to who knows where they sure smart when they bite :cry but squishing them stops them from doing it again

I love those squares and spheres you make Danny, great Macros as per usual from you Skippy (Australia)
