The photographs in this picture gallery may look like they been Photoshopped or assembled with dead insects, but the ants in these images are very much alive. Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov spends hours setting up fairytale scenes. He studied ants, and saw that they all follow a very specific path when they're working. So he put his props on their trail, and photographed the insects interacting with his miniature 'stage sets'.

Every summer he moves to a cottage in the countryside to photograph red forest ants in fairytale settings. He says: "When I had children and started reading them fairytales, I realised it was something I never did as a child. That's when I decided to make up for it and start creating some fairytales of my own."
Andrey says: "I used to work in theatre which was a big help when it came to making props.
"..I chose ants because I respect them and their way of life. They care about their children and look after the elderly."
Kan kuingat selama hayat dikandung badan,
Kau ucapkan kata manis disuatu senja yang indah.
Tapi sebelum lama bunga layu kau petik,
Lenyap harapan sejuk hati yang kini tinggal merana.
Tak kusangka sejahu ini penderitaan,
Kurasakan habis manis lalu sepahnya kau buang,
Kini kenangan pahit yang sempat kau tinggalkan,
Akan kemana bunga yang telah layu kini kusimpan.

Kr. Segenggam Harapan.
kr
Diufuk timur
manakala sinarmu
redup tertutup awan.
Langit cerah
tiada menjelang
bagaikan punah
harapan.
Tiba datang
sepercik sinar
pelita.
Kau remaja pembawa cahya
nan terang
sampaikah dihari esok.
Pancarkan sinar
budaya
budaya kita seni
yang kan abadi.
Hanya padamu
kusampaikan
segenggam harapanku.
Teguh kukuh
kan hatimu
Junjung tinggi budayamu
Smoga abadi.

Sekumtum bunga di
puncak giri.
Kupandang jahu berseri.
Kau melambai
di tiup bayu semerbak mewangi.
Ingin hatiku mendekat
membelai sayang,
namun apalah daya.
Kakiku berpijak diantara.
Bukit bukit yang curam.
Oh...manisku manisku
rindu padamu
kasihku jahu disebrang sana
bilakah bertemu.
