You know, that is exactly what I thought when I was making it.

Here's the same ant, in a more 3D perspective, no mirroring here:

              |      /
              \    ,'
               \_,'
          __   /")
       _,'  `.(_/,---.
         ,-._,')'     `
       _/ _,/ /--..
        ,' (_/\    \_
     _,' ,' |  `.
        /   )    \
  hh   /   /
       \__/

This seems to be getting quite a tasty thread for aardvarko :)
