Re: Some recent macros

I haven't got any good bull ant shots for a while. As you say, their good eyesight, speed, aggression and weapons make it difficult to get close to them. They chase you for meters away from the nest and seldom sit still long enough to photograph. They are quite common in the Blue Mountains and I used to regularly visit a close-by nest to try to photograph them. The last couple of times I just gave up. The picture above was one I found in a bush while looking for spiders. Here are some past pictures of big ones from my gallery.
