Someone should photoshop a giant pair of balls on that ant
JeepSchoeman
Maybe its a wasp taking his ant buddy up.

As opposed to a running wasp or a brisk walking wasp?
fistermatic5000
Well there is such a thing as ground wasps. They look like big hairy ants. No wings.
totallycooldude
But in my experience they compensate heavily for not flying with being way more of a cunt muffin.
fistermatic5000
Yeah you don't want that sting.

Isn't that a yellow jacket?
DeathDealerJP
It's a European Paper Wasp. Yellow jackets have black antennae
Steffn
Yellow jackets are wasps as well.

I think you bought the wrong "Ant-Man" movie.

Clearly, this is the right one.

Context please, like what is the nature of their conflict? Is it territorial or some larger ideological disagreements?
therealfatamy
Rival gangs, obviously.
Irreal
Ants have the religious believe that flying should be restricted to Queens and Drones.
IncorrektGramerNazi
Ideological disagreement
jtchan
Maybe it is a set up, many wasps or ants are killed for the shot
norill
nature of their conflict is that the nature is full of conflict
waffleincubator
The wasp was like: "it's pronounced jif, as in JERK IT FUCKER!" And the ant was like: "Oh I've had it with you're bullshit Karl!"

*your.

Wasp didn't have his half of the rent but somehow could afford a new phone.

Flying wasp, as opposed to a jumping wasp?

"An ant trying to take down a wasp while it's flying" better?
ISeePupper
There are flightless wasps

A wasp that doesn't fly is just a scorpion right?

Wasps eat cockroach larvae
Steffn
They also eat ticks and mosquitoes
Suib
And frog larvae
HoneNathan
You mean tadpoles?
BigYee
No, frog larvae. Very different.
KansasComrade
I don’t think he does. I eat eggs, not baby chicks. I eat caterpillars, not butterflies.
HoneNathan
You eat caterpillars?
Suib
No they go in groups of larvae on a leaf... grow into tadpole and jump into water and grow from there
HoneNathan
Pretty sure thats frogspawn, aka eggs.
TheRocketFiend
Watched adult cockroach eating wasps/larvae in their nests. The insect war rages on and we’re the only winners.
LookingOutAtTheDoomedEarthSheBreathedaSighAsEverythingHadBecome
Huh was the nest abandoned?
TheRocketFiend
Active, but lightly populated. Only two-three chamber cluster. Was still a sight to see. I didn’t know them to be predatory, really.
DidItForScience
Until they infest things around you. Some even near you. Under you. Above you... On you. Hopefully not in you.
TheRocketFiend
There is something specifically horrifying about cockroaches...I don’t mind picking up other beetles, but not those.

It's an insect holding a wasps severed head in it's jaws.
Steffn
A dead insect with a wasp head placed in it's jaws to be even more precise
AIComments
Now I'm thinking this post is two staged insects. The wing blur just looks really weird.
Steffn
It is! You can also tell from the curled up legs of the wasp and its discolored eyes. It also seems to be a focus-stack of several shots.
LloydChristmas2
How in the world does someone even take a photograph like this?!?!
MalePatternBlackness
If you look closely the ant has on a GoPro.
liana77
I'm thinking lots of patience and witchcraft.
Doofer20
this is staged. but micro photography

A good camera and many swollen bites and stings

Catch ant and a wasp. Glue their legs. Take picture.

What is this, a camera for ants?
ruferto

Both the creatures are dead
blcoyote
Yea stick em in the freezer and then pose them. Add a fair amount of photoshop.

Around 10k worth of gear and some time
ClassyReposts
Plus some strings that can be photoshopped out later. Probably some glue too.
bluejaymaplesyrup
but most of all, a contract allowing you to waste days on end trying to get this photo. Or money.
HypoMix
yes some times, but i do know entomology photographers.
Steffn
You don't need to spend anywhere that much. You can achieve that for way less thank 1k
Robvp
Yeah you can get a half decent 1:1 for around $150, I got lucky on my tamron, only 30 bucks
doubledoubleanimalstyle
Yup. 10k gear is like for shooting at night or those super zoom sports lenses where you can see a dude's pores from the stadium.
josephericpineiro
Yeah he was under on the amount of time and over on the budget. Not SOME time, a hella lotta time
IllegalDuckling
Or you can spend half a mil to be able to see every hair of the wasp.
Steffn
Or you do it with an cheap old lens which you can get on ebay for ~5€:
Robvp
Reversed lens? Did you stack or is that one shot?
IllegalDuckling
Holy shit.
