Let's learn ANTatomy!
The lower portion of the antennae is called the funiculus. (in other parts of biology a funiculus is a bundle of nerve fibers, and this is the most sensitive part of the ant, so it makes sense... also what could be more FUN that tapping everything with your antennae?)
The base of the antenae is called the scape.
The coxa is the joint that connects her ant legs to her mesonoma, aka thorax.
Ant feet don't have toenails, they have tarsal claws.

🩸 BEASTMEAT 🩸
very much considering getting this screenprinted as tees and tanks!
id: A bold, warm hued illustration of a rearing kirin in a heraldic pose, the negative space around it filled in a rich blue. Clawed, scaly forelimbs give way to hindlimbs of sharp hooves. Its dense, windswept mane contrasts a skeletal, antlered face, gaze locked with the viewer. Protruding between fangs, its forked tongue shifts to esophagus, stomach, and intestines coiled in its gut; all visible. Red stars frame the beast and lily of the valley grows by its feet. A rectangular yellow checkerboard pattern against a red backdrop further frames the artwork.
