This ant is sitting on a piece of mangrove root. It is very, very rare to see the ants still with antennas stretched so fine, so I am very happy with this picture and it was worth several hours of shooting before I managed to capture this image.

You make macro work so inspiring. Your pictures have their own stories and not simply just close-ups. Lovely. What lens was this taken with if you don't mind me asking?

Haha! He looks like an ant version of the proud lion in Lion King, I half expect him to hold a up youngster to brag about :) Magnificent photo!
