Do you use a flash? The blur could be due to a slower shutter speed, and your hands move, or shallow depth of field and not fully focused etc

 

Probably need to narrow the Aperture, higher F value, and use a flash to get more light to be able to do so, and a high shutter speed to stop the ants moving and blurring things.

Tripod could help.

This Journal Is Ending:

I don't think I should start a new journal about the big colony either, but I will post videos of the big colony on my YouTube Channel. That can be found here: https://www.youtube....guOZBECXtwr1M7A (I just made a moving timelapse today)

 

I will continue my Odontomachus haematodus journal, and when I catch some interesting queens I will create journals on them! Thank you for reading.
