we burned an ant in physics class last year...it worked rather well, actually, as long as we kept the middle of the glass dirrectly over the ant and the distance between them small(it has to do with the focal lenghts...i forget the exacts of it, but i'm pretty sure a few people on the board should know it). we burned a few people's arms and some holes in paper, too
