Description
I put down some honey to bait these Carpenter Ants and in this scene one of them is sharing the sweet stuff with another one (as well as information about where to find it). The tricky part about shooting this species is that it reacts to the flash, so I only get one frame.Tech Specs: Canon 1D Mark III (F13, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@ 4x) with an 81A warming filter + a diffused MT-24EX.

It's amazing how some cameras can get so upclose to tiny things, but ants aren't so cool when they get in the house, lol.

I thought they were fighting. Art is nice like that... everyone sees something different. Stunning shot and really impressive focus. Makes me feel like part of their world

Yup. I've only been able to successfully photograph that scene twice, but the second time it was at 3x (a little easier).
