Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

:blink: (Detectivey voice) It was at this moment I realized that I had a drawing I could brag about. But where did I put it? It's only been 3 years since I last drew in it and in a tiny notebook... It's impossible that I could've forgotten where I put it that easily. It's not like my memory span is only the length of 3 months. Oh wait my memory span IS three months. Oh the shame if I lost my drawings of wasps. The wasps would come after me for having to steal one of their own kind to draw it to scale... I must find it before... they... Find me...

 

So uh... After that boring monologue I think I finally remembered where my notebook with wasp drawings is at. So uh... if I find it in the end I'll make sure to post my drawings. I know for sure I have an approximate to scale drawing of a thread waisted wasp from here in Tucson, AZ.

I searched the whole forum and only found one for ant art specifically.

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

I personally can’t draw for sh*t. I’m not really good at anything art related tbh.

I'm ok at drawing, but only certain very specific things. I'm still far from great, though. My handwriting is also terrible to match.

I mean if I wanted to I could probably draw sh*t, that shouldn't be too hard right?

I think the main problem is that I don't know WHAT to draw

Exactly! I'm pretty sure I have at least some skill, but I have no idea what to draw.

Try your face, I mean its not an ant, but a face is probably one of the easier things to draw imo.

I can draw literally anything else better than a face.
