Perfect timing (given my earlier comments on anthropomorphizing). You could tell people that’s actually a goose egg and those ants are the size of rats! Some people wouldn’t notice the sand grains

Excellent. Sharp all the way across both ants and the seed. Considering that they must have both been moving, that must have been a tough shot indeed.

Thanks guys! The toughest thing about that shot was the sting of the ants, which is quite painful.
