Stop, making festive "bug print" fabrics, children's books and drawings that include "mix of bugs" but don't contain ants.

I know how you artists are.
You never skip the butterfly because of colors.
Never skip the beetle because of ... shape.
Never skip a centipede & millipede because of legs.
Never skip the spider because of LORE.

But ants are "boring" --right?
NO WRONG

A nature drawing without ants is like a forest without leaves.
A night sky... without any stars.
