Meat-eater ants feeding on a cicada

 * Reason:A little gross perhaps, but good EV and good quality. DOF is shallowish, but about as good as possible for a single shot macro. The main focus is well placed, showing the ants feeding around the head in a variety of positions, especially the one on top munching into the empty eye-socket.

 * Support It is kind of creepy, but gives an excellent, high-quality view of the meat-eater ants' activity.-- Twilight  Helryx  21:14, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak support - Shallow DOF, but very good focus and detail. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 04:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
