Anyone have any good suggestions for a clip-on macro lens? My other one is lower quality than it used to be.

I've heard good things about this one, though I have not used it. I plan to order one soon:

So this is probably not what you're looking for, but I have a Canon Powershot G9 X Mark II. It is no longer available new, but I am sure you could find one used. It is a good camera all around, and I am also happy with its macro performance. Not to mention it is pretty reasonably priced (around $400). Here is probably my best photo that I took with it:

 Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many fascinating ants right were you live!

I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.
