Magnification 3X on a full-frame sensor (Canon 6D) suggests that the frame height of this portrait-format image is about 12 mm. We're seeing only about the front half of the ant, so this suggests a total body length around 25 mm (1 inch). That's a pretty big ant! Is this correct, or have I messed up the calculation somehow?

I think I see the remains of wing stubs, so this could be a big queen.

Very sharp and great composition. The green straw really balances the colors in the picture. Good job !
