Insects and Spiders in Macro and Close-up

I find ants are so difficult to photograph, always busy and running around. I really appreciated seeing one so up close and in such great detail. What is it that it is carrying? Congratulations on third place and thanks for sharing!

Very nice photograph and a very particular subject. I have never seen this caterpillar and it immediately captured my attention. Detail is beautiful and the black background brings out the subject nicely. Very good job and congrats on top 10!

I really like the pastel colors of this image and the shallow depth of field. The bee stands out from its surroundings very nicely even though I would have maybe preferred the bee to be a little more on the right, not so much in the center. Congrats on top 10!
