 Fire Ants make lousy pets.

When taking pictures of these little guys be prepared to have them crawling all over you in a few seconds. They think human flesh tastes just like chicken.

OUCH!!!! I got attacked a couple of weeks ago and had 13 bites! They are so nasty. They bite AND sting....both!! Good shot here. Better than the one I captured.

Nice texture. Good shot of a somewhat dull subject. I'm not sure the border works, but your detail is quite incredible. Good job.

the focus on the ants seems soft - you might have tried getting even closer to the subjects.

The color isn't doint much for you here. Probably would have more impact as a high-contrast B/W image - lots of nice texture to work with. I like that you've included behavior and habitat in the image. Nice work.

Good fauna shot, the border doesn't seem to fit in though. The color clashes.

Not keen on the scarlet border - really distracts the eye.
