Great shots. How big is the insect? Because if it's just a small regular ant, the magnification is insane, and the DOF is just crazy.

Thanks for looking and commenting, mjbine, Draek, ghache.

It's quite big. The full body shot was shot at 1X i think on crop sensor.

Amazing shots as always! Do you use Chloroform on these guys or something to make them hold still or at least slow down? lol
