Very nice shots. If I was the lady bug I'd be booking it out of there, ants always come back with friends.

3, 5 and 6 stand out for me.

Can you please specify which setup did you used ?
I can guess that the Canon 100mm is involved, but as is won't give such magnification
is it ?

funny commentary. Clearly needs more than one ant to see off a hungry Ladybird.

welcome to the food chain my little friend... Good stuff there, the narrating was top notch also.

Terrific set. I'm on the side of the ladybird every time. Aphids are pests.

Thanks all for the comments :)

Geo - This was with the 100mm macro and a friends Kenko 36mm extension tube that I am currently borrowing. Really need to get some of those myself !! I also used 580ex on camea set to ETTL pointed straight forward with an omnibounce attached. Camera settings were ISO 400 1/250 f11.
