I'm not sure I'd want to get that close. One is bad enough. Try dealing with hundreds of them.

But they're nowhere near as vicious as fire ants.

It looks like one of our Sydney bull ants.

To get into macro I think I need some closeup rings for my Sony. The 70-300mm tele only does about 1/3 lifesize. Are the Kenko automatic rings the best choice without the price getting out of hand?
