Macro photos of red fire ants

Fire ants, are stinging ants with over 280 species worldwide. They have several common names including Ginger Ants and Tropical Fire Ants (English), aka-kami-ari (Japanese), and Feuerameise (German).

For these red fire ants, it is not easy to take the picture because the ants won't keep still. And a zero macro is not possible as the ants would climb to the camera's lens.

Nabau, Borneo giant snake

Photograph shows Nabau, the 'giant snake' lurking in Borneo river. Villagers living along the Baleh river in Borneo fear a 100-foot snake could be lurking in the murky waters.


It is not clear whether the photograph is genuine, or a clever piece of photo-editing. Some suggested the 'snake' was in fact a log or a speed boat and others complained the colour of the river in the photo was too dark.

The most common theory is that the photo has been manipulated on a computer. This is known as photo-shopped image.



What do I think about the photos? It's a totally low-quality amateur photo-shopped. In short, FAKE.

Instead of putting your interest in a snake hoax, why not check the real issue of Siltation that killed thousand of fishes at Batang Rajang , a real freak papaya photo from Borneo or a snake head fish photo.
