That's an amazing ant you've found to show us Dixon.

A superb set of images too - many thanks my friend.

It is a mantis what looks like an ant especially when it is still not fully grown yet. :D If not take a closer look, it will appear just like a normal ant.

Thanks Dixon. It's still an amazing creature and a cracking macro image you've got of him.
