  Quite the contrast from the stumpy, spiky, perpetually grumpy looking youngsters. Posted 3 years ago

  I've managed a couple of times when an antlion subject was much closer, this one being quite a way above my head. (I was able to achieve this shot by reaching up and gently rotating the wire toward me). But I've seen some stunning ultra-macro images of the eyes taken by others, just wonderful.
