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
Kerri said,
WOW Lisa – these are Superb! I hope they don’t fight it out and they go their separate ways:)
Beyond Zephyr said,
Great clarity in these photos..I think the huge ant will win.
Becky said,
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!
Laura Hegfield said,
Beautiful photo Lisa, love the vibrancy of the flower petals…the spider is so tiny compared to the ant.
Barbara said,
I love that last shot of the ant peaking under the petal at the spider. Terrific shot.
Barbara said,
Epic. That is a very big ant or a very small spider. I’m rooting for the spider.
Janis said,
Wow….the ant looks wicked.
Teresa said,
Not sure who I’d put my money on, but it would be an impressive battle.
Mickie Brown said,
Fabulous macro shots of that cute little ant. You got “up close and personal” for sure. Have a terrific week. Mickie
Jan said,
Fabulous captures, Lisa.
Anna VanDemark said,
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.
Christina said,
a great series and find and so wonderful in such great Macroshots
Ellie said,
What a great shot. The way the ant is peeking at the spider in the last shot – I think he may win!!!
Jay from The Depp Effect said,
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!
Melissa B. said,
Isn’t the ant always the ultimate winner? Really love these Superior Snaps!
Kimberly said,
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.
Karen said,
Oh wow! Great macros! I think the ant will triumph.
Helen Campbell said,
Those are fabulous shots!
kaye said,
wow–that is a cool shot!
Ida said,
Yikes! The jaws on that Ant look pretty menacing and that spider isn’t very big…run little spider run!
Amazing shots.

The ant is very cute!
Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said,
I don’t usually like insect photos, but this ant is way neat. Must be the pink petals.
Enzo, Thailand said,
great photos…suddenly, a scary ant become so lovely…
Carletta said,
These are awesome shots Lisa!
I swear that ant could crawl right out of my monitor.
