The Bull ant is my fav!:)

Thanks folks. The Bull Ant is interesting to shoot, as they are incredibly aggressive. This one lunged at the lens several times, ending up climbing onto the flash unit at one stage.

Great shots.
Those ants are aggressive :)

Thanks Dave. I had them lunging at the lens. To get them to where I want them I get them to chase my finger. One of these days one will get me.
