There's been some controversy over the reality of these amazing ant photographs (whether they are alive or dead, hence this week's heading!), but I will quote the Telegraph, a paper I choose to trust, on the matter: "The photographs in this picture gallery may look like they been Photoshopped or assembled with dead insects, but the ants in these images are very much alive. Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov spends hours setting up fairytale scenes. He studied ants, and saw that they all follow a very specific path when they’re working. So he put his props on their trail, and photographed the insects interacting with his miniature 'stage sets'."
