Terrifying close-up of an ant's face gives horror movie monsters a run for their money
Yahoo ^ | 21 Oct 2022 | Angelica Stabile

That’s not its eyes, that’s just where the antennae come out, his eyes are on the sides back more.

Yes, you are correct. I should have warned people first “Look at your own risk” and used a link to the horrific sight

Ants might be the strongest creatures in the animal kingdom. They can carry up to a thousand times their weight. You can step on them and they continue on unfazed. You can drop them from the top of the Empire State Building and they will simply crawl down 34th Street and find the nearest nest to join.

If they were scaled up to human size, they would rule the world.
