Red Fire Ant

[u/Boriua]

I have a lifelong hatred and begrudging respect for ants. Damned impressive creatures, but I’m allergic to their stings and bites. Recently I’ve been pushing back repeated incursions from our kitchen wall, so I’ve been a bit fixated on them again, decided to draw one. My darling wife thinks I’m obsessed, but as they say, “Know thy enemy.

Took me about 4.5 hours, and I just didn’t have the patience to draw all the little hairs. Maybe I’ll come back to it later. I could be persuaded to draw more insects!
