artistic pair
This one (15 ants drinking on a leaf) would make a good companion piece for 13 bees sleeping on a cosmos flower - enlarged ten times and hung on the wall of an insect art gallery. Anybody planning one soon?

Some of them
Some of them look like they better stop drinking or they're going to explode!
