Giant Ant biting me, ouch!

I enjoyed seeing these photos of the any biting you. And yes, very fortunate the biting occurred where you could get the camera aimed at it!!! As always, your macro images are delightfully entertaining.

Great shots! I guess we should all be thankful that you're not into photographing big cats... because the same scenario could be a little discomfiting.

Thanks, pgriz. Ha...I am into snake photography though. Haven't photographed the same scenario on myself yet but have done it for a friend.

Thank you, Derrell

Yes, lucky that she bit me on my left wrist at a spot where I could still aim my camera at.

That's crazy! And eerily close to home! I think fire ants are responsible for the whelps all over my ankles that showed up yesterday. Probably from out at the refuge the day before that. I was on the ground, in the same spot, for about 5 minutes snapping cactus flowers. Now I have huge blisters forming from the whelps. Itching like heck, too!!

Thanks. Fire ant bite is supposed to be painful, right?
