Really? and only 3x? I tried to get some pretty large army ants one time... I got a few images of the Guards at 1.5x... when they started attacking me. and those seem like less than half the multiplier as this... I'll have to capture em some time...

Did you capture this guy to get the photo?

I put some honey on a tree limb where they normally patrol for food. I look for the larger ones, around 12mm long.

Man, they just get down right creepy at this size! Great job as always! What type of flash are you using, if any?? On or off camera?
