Perfect timing (given my earlier comments on anthropomorphizing). You could tell people that's actually a goose egg and those ants are the size of rats! Some people wouldn't notice the sand grains :-D

Excellent. Sharp all the way across both ants and the seed. Considering that they must have both been moving, that must have been a tough shot indeed.

Thanks guys! The toughest thing about that shot was the sting of the ants, which is quite painful.
