Wow, really cool and it looks like two of them just fired sidewinder heat
seeking missiles at the ant ;) !

Maybe consider more of an "ant's eye view".  Almost all of those giant 
monster / Alien movie posters from the 50s have this view where you see 
the giant monsters or flying saucers coming over some tall building or 
something.  Then, we feel 'menaced" ourselves and don't need to 
empathize with an ant!!! :)

Plus, I'd say that it might be cool if the magnifying lenses looked a 
little more like UFOs or something.

Great idea by the way!
