Close-up of an Ant

Terrifying close-up of an ant's face gives horror movie monsters a run for their money.

It turns out that zooming in on an ant’s face is an absolute nightmare.

A close-up photograph of an ant was sent in as a submission to the 48th annual Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition — and the results are freaky.

The tight shot of the tiny insect, captured by Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas of Taurage, Lithuania, shows the ant’s beady red eyes, angry expression and what appears to be long, sharp teeth.

Kavaliauskas captured this photo of the ant by using reflected light with 5X objective lens magnification, according to the competition.

The photo has the internet — well, freaking out over what could replace a monster in a horror film.

While I understand why the embryonic hand of a gecko won, I still like the ant better. I could see why a kid would love that as a poster for his b.r. wall.

I had an aunt who resembled that.

Looks a lot more like an old bat than an ant or aunt.

I can't find anything resembling it either.

Ants don't have teeth. Bats do.

Actually, it reminds me of a woman I used to know, but marginally better looking. It's the blonde hair, I think.

i absolutely adore bats.
