Contest: Macros at Home
Black Ant

My plan initially was to shoot landscapes outdoor that day. The heavy rain had altered the plans. So i switched over to my iPhone from my DSLR. Attached a cheap mobile macro lens that i bought earlier that year. Because of the rain, the insects were coming out and i had different subjects to shoot. But looking at the ant at its Life size, particularly it's teeth/stings, it definitely reminded me of the Ant bites that i've had since childhood. Also this Ant went isolated from the group, which made it a little easier to shoot. But I still got bitten by Ants at the end of the shoot. Still it was worth it to shoot this and few other pics.
