Asian Weaver Ants tending a Lycaenid caterpillar (Tailless Line Blue perhaps)

This is the best I could do with the MP-E. These ladies don't appreciate visitors and it was a breezy day.

I will have to try to find more of these with a wider lens. Any suggestions on good cheap wide angle macro for R mounts?
