Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov has created an incredible series of 80+ photos where real life ants are shot in fantasy landscapes he has created. Using his previous experience making theatre and stage props, Andrey decided to create miniature fantasy landscapes and place them on the worker ants’ trail to see how they would interact with his creations. The results are spectacular, even seemingly impossible at times.

A photo I took. It rained yesterday. We’re on the third floor and it gets really humid, so both windows are wide open. Only one of them have a screen. When it’s nice out, you can crawl out and hang out on the roof.
