A BUG'S LIFE
LIKE A scene from A Bugs Life, these ants work on creating their own mini community. Protecting each other from villains, these scenes could have easily come straight from a Disney film. These creative photographs were created by Russian ant photographer Andrey Pavlov, 56, after a mobility difficulty led him to see ants in a new light. ‘In 2005 I put my back out and I couldn't walk,’ says Andrey, of Vyborg.
