there are some lovely photos on this post.

taking shots of ants really isn't easy. getting them to stand still is a nightmare as i found out last weekend. aparantly if you put them in the freezer for a while they slow down a bit….anyone else heard of this technique?

This is just fantastic photography.. I never know some ants will have so many hairs as the penultimate photo shows..
