Description Insects love (to bite) me!!! A Camponotus sp. ant with her mandibles locking onto my flesh. Ouch. Selangor, Malaysia. I was photographing another Carpenter ant when I felt sharp pain on my left wrist! It was this ant!

Wow this picture is so amazing and sharp I have moments like that when I am siting outside. Sometimes I feel a poking sharp itch on my hand or arm and I look to find a small small small insect. Then I think how interesting it is that a creature so small in comparison to my own size and mass, could cause me irritating pain by biting me with mouth parts SO SMALL that I have to focus intensely on to see. Lol. What a world...

If it is a fire ant the pain would've last longer.

He's got quite a hank of your flesh there. Bet that hurt like hell. If that was on ME, he'd be one flat ant. Ā  I echo what others say: what dedication to get "the Shot".

Dude if something like that bit me I would smack the shit out of it, not pause to take a picture! You have some weird instincts. Cool photo though.

theBEARDEDcanuck [2014-06-23 14:46:06 +0000 UTC]

This is amazing
... did he get a chunk of you? I had a Blackjacket on my arm once, he was stinging me, I don't know why, I guess they are just really irritable. It was weird, it's stings didn't hurt at all, then suddenly it bit into me with it's mandibles "Ouch!" I shook the bastard off and got out of the garden, the thing took a lentil sized chunk of my arm... and it wouldn't stop bleeding, normally the blood would clot after a minute, but it didn't... I'm thinking this must be the effect of it's sting.

Oh, sorry for the rambling comment -'J

Thank you. No, it wasn't very painful, and didn't bleed much either. That was why I decided to photographed it

Oh damn, I hate ants! I was in a war with them once, they decorated my flesh with dots!
Other than that, great photo! I'm sorry about your wrist, ants are mean! The photo came out great, and the lighting is excellent! Great job!

orionmystery In reply to WhiteStudios [2014-06-25 17:32:23 +0000 UTC]

It wasn't too painful and since I was already being bitten, I might as well made the best of it

TheNaughtyScotsman [2014-06-23 10:58:26 +0000 UTC]

Nothing shows devotion like being bitten by a giant ant and thinking: "Damn, I gotta take a pic."

You might have endured some pain it seems, but you also got a nice photo out of it

Well, you managed to capture a lot of detail with one hand then, you can actually see him biting through your skin
