  Paul, can you get any closer? I couldn't quite see the ants name tag. LOL. You must have used a microscope not a macro lens. Very good macro

  Paul, this is just astounding! The "hooks" on the dandelion are amazing! I don't think I realized they even looked like this, close up! An outstanding macro! It really is a fable of immense proportions for that ant! Imagine how it looks to HIM! Wow. Great!
