  1. i’ve been tempted to buy one of these bio-gel ant farms for months. do they seem happy in there?

  2. Happy? Just look at that big smile! 😉

    They sure are industrious.

  3. he looks ready for war!

  4. Hyperbolation– definitely worth the purchase. I’ve got mine just about cleaned out and ready for another batch of ants. (I knew I kept those pipe cleaners around for something.)

  5. Another angry ant!

    I’m also considering a similar pet for my work space. I would like either a gel ant farm or triops.

  6. sweeeeeett. like thepretenda put it … it sure is ready fo a war. 🙂

  7. Nell: I have 7 hyperactive triops growing at home. They are great, but they need to be fed each day, which is a hassle for an "office pet" (over the weekends or if you travel).

    The Gel ant farm is ideal in that regard – no food, no water. The Ecosphere is similar in that regard, but there is less to see there.

  8. I’m going to have to pick up one of those Ricoh Caplios. Just amazing macro shots!

  9. beautiful composition =O

  10. Unusual and beautifully done.

  11. I’ll never look at an ant the same way again. Great shot…

  12. that is a great macro of an ant.

  13. Wow, that’s amazing!

  14. This is a very nice macro shot…..the detail and angle are amazing….

    WELL done…!

  15. oh snap!!!! That is too close for comfort! How did you get that close? Amazing shot. Just makes me drop my jaw.

  16. Oh wow, great macro! It looks very aggressive.

  17. thanks y’all! It was a bit of a magical moment as she made a series of aggressive gestures toward the lens 1cm from her jaws….. an inter-species tango of sorts

  18. This magnificent macro has been placed in the Macro 1-2-3 group photo pool Hall of Fame….
