Moose challenged me to do better.  While I don't have his lens 
collection, I looked at what I had and decided to combine the Pentax 
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135/3.5 with the longest extention tube that 
would focus at ground level on my collapsed tripod.  This turned  out to 
be a 38mm tube.  It is a damp morning and the soil of the mound is wet.  
I aroused the ants near the green leaves and set the aperture at f/11 
for better DoF.
