Revisited and made some fixes to an old Lala Barina piece I made.

Macro photograph in side view of a wasp-like black ant with long mandibles crouched on a gray tree trunk with antennae raised, looking wary of us. The eyes are bulging black orbs, the legs light red, and the abdomen is covered in a golden sheen.
