Wonderful image. I have one question, if you don't mind. Every time I try to do a macro photograph stack, I find the subject uncooperative, unwilling to pose. How did you get this ant to pose long enough to take enough photos to make a stack?

I suspect you will find out the ant was dead.

I thought that might be the answer. Do you then glue it to a pin to position it?
