The mighty NZ ant

[nzmacro]

Ours ants are small at around 2 - 3mm. The advantage is, they don't bite :D

So for scale against a pencil tip ...... complete with vignetting :wink

Our ants are only as big as yours too, they're black but the sugar ants are sort of the colour of the ones you posted, however the black ones do bite, I know cause I make the mistake of touching the lock on the garage door all the time and those little black ones are using it as a pathway to who knows where :dunno they sure smart when they bite :cry but squishing them stops them from doing it again :rofl

I love those squares and spheres you make Danny, great Macros as per usual from you :D Skippy (Australia)
