QUEEN ANT

Pismire.  This is a gigantic ant compared to its natural size. In the pile of scrap metal that I’ve accumulated, I found several aluminum dishes that I put together in descending order and got something that looked a lot like the body of an pismire. That is what determined its overall size. The insect came out graceful, though I mounted a torch on its head to make it easier to navigate those mazes of anthill tunnels.
