rhytidoponera metallica from Australia.. I love the metallic reflections of this ant... you can’t see anything with the naked eye as this ant is so small but the magnification brings out all these fantastic details
the cleaning was very long and difficult ( more than 3 hours ) because grains of pollen and dirt were embedded in all the hollows of the surface but I am quite happy with the result

Ahhh yes, the green head ant, very nice! Great colours, clean stack. I have yet to do a stack on an insect like this because of the prep work. When i researched it seemed very tedious and time consuming. Very good effort preparing and posing the ant.
