Well that ant sure does have some chompers on it… so, my money is on the ant. Love the gray stripe on the body.

That’s either a very large ant or a very small spider. I’m not sure who would win. Nice story. David :-)

Interesting looking ant. I don’t think I ever saw one that close. Good shot!
Some ants can be very viscious.

I’m guessing the spider is hiding, the ant looks much bigger.

Looks like the ant is peaking upside down at the spider. Awesome macros!

Beautiful photo Lisa, love the vibrancy of the flower petals…the spider is so tiny compared to the ant.

I love that last shot of the ant peaking under the petal at the spider. Terrific shot.

Epic. That is a very big ant or a very small spider. I’m rooting for the spider.

I’m betting on the ant! I’d be hiding too, if I was that spider! Happy week to you.

Those are great!! I can’t believe how big the ant looks compared to the spider. The colors are just so brilliant on the flower. Love it!!

I did not see the spider at first. :) I think that ant will win. The way the ant looks in the last shot is so well captured. :)

Wow .. that last picture really ‘pops’ doesn’t it? It’s amazingly good! I love insect photography and that, to me, is definitely worth framing. I’ve seen far worse up for sale on Etsy!

These are fabulous macro shots! I would have to say just based on size, the ant would win the battle. But then again David defeated Goliath and no one expected him to win. :)

Yikes! The jaws on that Ant look pretty menacing and that spider isn’t very big…run little spider run!
Amazing shots.

I don’t usually like insect photos, but this ant is way neat. Must be the pink petals.
