Yes, you need to get a macro-lens! And yes, it is two ants. Susan,

The Hebrew is
“Go to the ant, O sluggard (or better, “lazybones”)
Observe its [her] ways and be wise”

I put the ellipsis in there to take the emphasis away from the “sluggard.”

Yes, you need to get a macro-lens! And yes, it is two ants.

I've been wanting one, and now I'm going to have to really think hard about making it happen. The detail is breathtaking. It looks like 2 ants in the picture. Do I have that right? Also, I'm too busy to be chasing down a lexicon - however, obviously not too busy to be here! - but what do the two Hebrew words for "ant" really mean? Love the macro lens shot!
