Been playing with baiting ants with honey on different surfaces.

Awfully "sweet" images!

(Get it, he said he used honey and I said they were "sweet". Nevermind.)

Really, really nice work. I wonder, do ants raid bee hives? (Apparently they do.)

Thanks Brian,

You are the KING!

Thanks for the comments all much appreciated.
baiting ants like this makes them a lot easier to photograph- they tend to stay still for a while.

Al - contrary to popular opinion I don't put honey on my car

Thanks- they were all taken with an MPE-65 but all are also focus stacked for greater DOF.

Awsome as usual!
That's like finding a quarter pounder the size of a VW bug on your doorstep!

I bet you had unlimited time shooting these guys! Much less elusive than your typical models.

All the best,

Yes they do tend to stick around until the honey runs out

My fav. is no. 1; I love the fact that the furthest ant to the right has pushed nearly all of his head in to the honey!
