Imagine how small their cameras would be :) It was actually fly day, but the ants said no.
Nice work -what were you using to take those?
Hey thanks. All were taken on a Nikon D5100. The fly capture was f/16, 1/200, iso100 on a 50mm lens. The other close-ups were both with extension tube, and all with flash and DIY diffuser.
