The Ants Go Marching On Again Hoorah, Hoorah....

Here are some red and black ants I tied up for the upcoming Fly Tyer Of The Year contest.  I wanted to enter something more than just the popper catagory.  I discovered this ant pattern earlier in the year.  I have yet to catch anything on it but it does look cool.  It takes a little while to tie because I have to cut the foam out and then try to attach it to the hook.  These are size 16s.  Trying to hold something that small in my big fingers is challenging to say the least.  My wife and I are arguing over which fly is better.  I personally like the bigger sized foam and she likes the smaller one.  Looking to see what people think.
