Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 8:01 amooh i love the ant! great capture, he even has nice catchlights in his eyes! i like the sharpness and the depth of field, as well as the over all composition.

Agree with the others the ant looks great. I was trying to find it's other antenna, then realised it was lost due to the DOF. Thought the poor bugger had lost it in a fight

So thats what a Jack Jumper looks like in macro...... good picture.
I go looking for more extreme items when I see those bastards in the backyard..... generally poison, but I'm going to get a mappgas and burn the little bastards right up. Seriously -- these ants jump - and if they see you/your shadow they will try to attack you and bite, they are the most aggressive insect I have ever seen.
Did I mention they are bastards? Oh - and be careful, some people are highly allergic to their bite, one neighbour carries an epi-pen at all times outside

lol, i am guessing you have had a bad experience with one of these
and if they see you/your shadow they will try to attack you and bite
hmm, this one musta been an old codger, while he was firey i did manage to get pretty darn close and with my nose on the ground..... I will certianly have a newfound respect for them though, even with just those nippers they look nasty
